How long can I put off upgrading to macOS 26? (lemmy.world)

I'm running macOS 18 and since I depend on dark mode, macOS 26 seems like a step backwards for my eye sensitivity.

So I'd like to stay on 18 for as long as it receives security updates and consider upgrade options some time later. Do the ISOs tend to remain available? Because my understanding is that when it comes to iOS, if you miss the last chance to upgrade, you're stuck with whatever you have.

I'm still running Sequoia on my M2 Air, because I have 0 interest in macOS 26. So far as I'm aware there's no real push from Apple to ensure eligible machines are upgraded, you'll just get to a point where the OS is no longer officially supported. In theory it'll still work just fine.
