Mac hardware almost universally outlasts their software, which is a damn shame. Perfectly working hardware needs to eventually get thrown away because they can’t be bothered to keep their software working on it.

If there was one thing I would fix about the software industry with a magic wand it’s this constant need to be on a buying treadmill because software developers refuse to support legacy hardware.

You can still install latest macOS with some work.[1] If you have places for full backup. I have yet to encounter any issues. It will probably take a few hours of hassle which for a lot people is not worth it. I want to do it just to see how far I can get out of this machine. You may want to do some research before trusting my words.

Macports is always there once homebrew abandons you.

Or nixpkgs :-)
