alt Hacker NewsSo that you have to keep buying Macs every few years of course. If they gave you a way to install linux easily then you could use it far past their intended lifespan and wouldnt keep you locked into the apple ecosystem. They have proved time and time again that Apple hardware running anything but MacOS or iOS is something they will work very hard to stop you doing.

Thanks to the community, you can install macOS 15 (or older) on unsupported macs (as old as 18 years)

This bullshit needs to die. The products are designed to last.

That sounds like a you thing; I've kept my macs for at least 5 years. My M1 is still going strong and I haven't felt any pressure to upgrade.
