Running Linux on intel iMacs:
I suggest two temperature apps you might add:

smcFanControl
pSensor

I overheated the GPU running MX streaming a movie on my iMac 10,1

Psensor shows the temperatures - TGOD ..being the GPU.
smcFanControl allows you to adjust fan speed n when according to temp levels.

(Im repeating myself in here in the hope it helps some avoid the situation I found myself in - ie having to use keys P,R with Option n Apple key to get a successful boot up.)

Not strictly on topic, but here's fastfetch running on an ASUS S200E touchscreen subnotebook in Win 10 LTSC

Almalinux on my 2012 quad Mini. Just finished copying over 140 million files to a 4tb Linux-formatted T7 SSD to make it closely mirror the web server that I lease, which was quite an ordeal! Still trying to install Almalinux on a 2018 Mini but the 2012 feels so fast, it might be all I need.

Interesting that it shows 8 processors but, of course, the Mini only has 4. My understanding is that Linux sees this as 8 "logical cores" where 4 represent turbo boost. I guess that's also why it shows 3.6ghz when the real chip is actually 2.6ghz.

Still trying to install Almalinux on a 2018 Mini

Finally got it working!

4 cores, 8 threads, due to Intel hyperthreading technology. The 2018 has 6 cores, hence 12 threads.
Merry Christmas!

Trying Q4OS on an Imac 5,1...got it working from a usb stick...in a very round about way .still lots to sort to get it booting from an external SSD or the HD.

Here's my 10,1iMac running KDE Neon. I use it in the kitchen to watch the footie (soccer), stream video and Spotify.

Here's the 15,1iMac which I use for dev etc. It also runs KDE Neon. It does have Sequoia (with OCLP) installed on the internal SSD but this very rarely gets booted - I'm not a big fan of macOS. The eagle-eyed among you may notice that this configuration with a 4K screen was never sold so I assume the 5K screen was replaced with the wrong part at some point in its life. It's still a fine machine.
