From the Press Release under "Availability" "macOS Mojave will be available this fall as a free software update for Macs introduced in mid-2012 or later, plus 2010 and 2012 Mac Pro models with recommended Metal-capable graphics cards." Looks like it's the end of the road for my 2010 Mac mini running High Sierra. So long as Photos and Photo Stream continue to work, I'm not complaining. It was a good run.

Check ebay. I recently bought a 2013 Mac Pro off ebay for a good price. My 2009 Mac Pro was no longer supported. I figure the 2013s will probably have another 5 years after whatever new model they come out with next year.

  I’m pretty sure there’s a way to upgrade the firmware on 2009 Mac Pro to keep it going. Can’t quite remember the details but I think it’s even possible to bring it up to 2012 spec which will be supported in Mojave.

    Ya, I couldn't get it to work and I have more money than patience. I also didn't buy one when they first came out, so I was happy with my 4 years of holding off for a good price. Besides, new (to me) hardware always motivates me to build products. I'm working on an Azure app on a Windows 10 VM inside a macOS. :) I need to get around to learning how to work on C# apps in macOS rather than Visual Studio, but I haven't quite gotten around to it yet. Either way, now I have a trashcan / hand warmer on my desk with a TB connected external drive cage with 2 mirror sets, and it makes me happy.

There will likely be hacks like DosDude's Sierra patch [1]. 7 years of updates is still quite a lot, and I'm sure your Mac Mini will still be useful past its 10th birthday. [1] http://dosdude1.com/sierrapatch.html http://dosdude1.com/sierrapatch.html
