That and the fact that it will brick my $600 HP Reverb G2 headset are two reasons that I will never ever “upgrade” to Win11.

Microsoft not the only one.Mac OS upgrades effectively brick their own hardware. I’ve got a beautiful 27 inch iMac with a retina screen 5k … unusable now on last 2 OS updates.

Unusable? I still use my 27” 2011 iMac. Other than performing like a 14-year-old computer, it still does everything it ever could.

Except develop apps for the Apple platform. Or use any of the new features of the Apple macOS. Or soon receive any security updates.

Well, unless you use LegacyPatcher of course.

Cool project. Thanks for posting. I may look into it to breathe life into my beautiful old iMac.

Are you using it for your old macs?

Of course, it’s not perfect but what is.

“As to be expected, macOS Sequoia support is still in active development. This is a community-driven project, and as such we ask users to keep expectations in check and use older OSes if you encounter issues that affect you.”
