    I’m still using my MacBook Air from 2011.

    Idk what losing Apple support means, but those 2018/2019 models are good for another ~decade.

      @hayes_ @be4foss It means you become a security risk. But as long as you don’t put that laptop on the Internet with that old version OSX then you should be good, otherwise … Linux the thing and use it until whenever. ;)

      I am also still using my 2015 macbook pro A1502, the battery isn’t as good but it can still run my daily tasks. Its still on Catalina, there is no need to upgrade.

      Theres always Linux if I ever wanted to upgrade OS.

      The last few OS releases will continue to get security updates, but new versions of the OS won’t support those models at all.
