> Not supporting old hardware is something that all companies eventually must do I get it, but macOS does not need to do anything hardware-specific to fix security vulnerabilities, they'd only need to patch the old version (which already supports that hardware) and release an update, and only if someone reports a vulnerability. If they planned to group hardware deprecations only every X versions (let's say they'll remove hardware every 5 years), they would have very little work to do to keep those old versions safe. > I don't think Apple or Windows would be a good choice, if openness is a feature you're looking for. I agree, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't also push for them to be better. Personally I love linux but I also need mac for iOS development.
