    Except Macs that go out of support do turn into pumpkins. Because software will start to refuse to run on it because the OS is too old. That is how I define unusable.

    OpenCore Legacy patcher is awesome but it is not without issue.

    I guess some people think that unsupported operating systems causing GPU glitches or being stuck in ancient application versions is a better experience. Not me. I am very happy to put Linux on a Mac, get better performance, and enjoy totally up-to-date applications. If I really need to, I could always run one or two macOS or Windows applications in a VM. I am not sure what those would be though.

      Just because the software is older doesn’t mean it’s unusable. Besides Apples programs you still have at least a few previous Mac OS versions of support. Both Firefox and Chrome will run on 10.15, and many other programs will run on 10.13 which is pretty old.
