I literally did this same exact upgrade earlier this year when the COVID lockdown first happened. I decided to put Ubuntu on mine and discovered that the most recent version that has an installer compatible with this Mac Mini is the 2014 version. So, I installed the 2014 version, then upgraded to 2016, then upgraded to 2018, which is where the machine currently stands.

Assuming you installed a Core2Duo: There’s Linux ISO’s that can install 64-bit versions on Macs with 64-bit processors but 32-bit EFI. Might be worth a shot. Google “Matt Gadient Linux ISO” and it should be the top result. Running Mint 20 on my C2D MacBook thanks to that iso

The Core Duo is a cool processor in that it's almost like the ultimate development of the Pentium 3.... It's essentially a dual-core version of the Pentium M, itself a revamped P6 architecture chip. Conroe borrowed from it also, but it's much more different from the Pentium 3 than is Yonah.

Great work there buddy! Loved the new video you had put up about the Mac Mini. I had a similar problem with an old 2009 iMac when it came to upgrading the MacOS on there. What I had done was downloaded the .DMG image of one of the MacOSes that you can get for free online and do an in-place upgrade to the MacOS directly onto it. As it worked for me and was able to get to High Sierra in the end, hopefully it should work out for you too!
