Lol. Right... That's why my MacBook Pro is collecting dust while the spec-inferior MacBook Air I was required to purchase to keep getting OS updates is now my development machine... 🙄

    You don’t need to run macos on that older machine.

    I distinctly remember how at some point the “best all around laptop for running windows” was a MacBook pro,

    Ofc by now more people are catching on they are much bettered served with linux..

    Yeah, I bought a Mac Studio, Mac Pro, and used to own a powerMac G5. The worst part was that Apple sucks at GPU's and always did. I dumped my Mac Pro when I realised the GPU was totally crap compared to PC half the price on the market, and there was no official way to update it, and keep using MacOS. I could switch GPU, but, Mac OS wouldn't have the drivers.

    It was super embarressing. Despite only needing to support a handful of GPU's, Apple still didn't offer a long timeframe of support for that system. The only solution was buy a whole new computer
