That's what I said to myself some time ago about Snow Leopart, and more recently - El Capitan, but unfortunately one eventually needs to bite the bullet and stay current with security patches and 3rd-party app support. I begrudgingly went to High Sierra, though it provides no added value to me whatsoever (and even breaks a few things).
I'd like to say that I won't be getting another Mac in the future, though I can't honestly be sure of it. I'm already fully on Linux on my company laptop, but I own a few Mac-only apps that prevent me from going full Linux on my personal machine.
- teekert 8y agoI run Linux on my personal laptop and server as well but my wife needs some Adobe tools unfortunately. Well I guess I'll just sit it out until security updates don't come anymore. Anyway, I think this was also my last Mac for these reasons: * I hate it that I can't open them up anymore * That butterfly keyboard * it got even more expensive (for a 15") (What we got back (the touchbar) has no added value for me) * Windows can run Adobe tools and now has a subsystem for Linux. * The Dell XPS line approaches MacBook quality pretty well and can be opened and is well supported under Linux should Adobe start to support it (hey, we are talking something like 2023 here, one can hope an Adobe Snap will be available by then, I think Adobe would rather like the Linux ecosystem.) As said, I'm still very happy with a 7 y/o mbp because I upgraded it step wise. Though to be honest, I feel computer land stagnates a bit now that we finally found a solution for the hdd bottleneck, still there is little to fix yourself if anything gives out.
