We have been discussing this and it is somewhat problematic, although it depends on how long the intel macs last. The Mac Pro Range are the most expensive things ever and owners will want to sweat them. It could be that security fixes will continue for longer than OS releases, which is the biggest concern. Failing that, my six month old maxed-out MBP 16 might be running Linux this time in 2026.

> It could be that security fixes will continue for longer than OS releases There is no need for speculation here because we already know how Apple is treating Mac Pro owners. I have two of these machines (3.1), they are wonderful powerhorses with two Xeons and 64 GB of RAM, but for Apple they're not worth being supported. I need to use a popular hack in order to install a newer OS and get updates.

  To the downvoters: as another person pointed out, the latest version of Windows would work perfectly on these machines - if I choose to install it, that is. But I prefer macOS and the apps I had bought. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't care.
