For me personally, I can’t update my laptop (2010 MBP) to the latest MacOS without trickery. It’s simply unsupported.
I plan on moving back to Linux once the core apps cease to operate — iMessage, easy transfer of music/audiobooks to iPhone, FaceTime.
Also, I’m pretty sure Dell and Lenovo have OoB support for Linux. Lenovo especially since RedHat is under the same umbrella.
- phendrenad2 5y agoWhy would Linux on your 2010 MBP be better than your current MacOS on your MBP? Or is the real issue that you're looking to upgrade, and don't want to pay the Apple tax on new Macbooks?
- wcchandler 5y agoIt wouldn’t be. But once the native apps stop working as expected I will have no reason to stay on the MacOS platform, ergo, my transition back to Linux.
- Klonoar 5y agoI am not sure I understand this viewpoint. A 2010 MBP is ~11 years old at this point, which is an eternity given how the past decade of laptops have evolved. If you buy any modern laptop that's not junk, you're going to be paying hundreds of dollars. I simply don't see why you wouldn't grab an M1 Air at this point. Is it Big Sur/Monterey...? Like, if you could upgrade, would you?
- wcchandler 5y agoYes. I have 0 intentions of purchasing a different laptop and instead will use Linux to prolong its lifespan.
