My 2009 Macbook still works fine, thanks. The battery is a spicy pillow and the Superdrive is dead, but it works, albeit slowly. It's mostly running Debian nowadays (the last supported MacOS release, 10.12, doesn't even run a modern browser nowadays).
I also have a 2007 Sony VAIO in a cupboard running Ubuntu 20.04 just fine, as a backup. Its battery is only good as a UPS nowadays, but the computer works fine.
- lproven 3y agoI have a 2009 MBP. Its battery still runs for about 2h, its optical drive worked the last time I tried, and it runs 10.13 which means the current Firefox ESR still works. I am planning to try OCLP on it and see if I can get Big Sur working. That's the last macOS that doesn't want a GPU that supports the Metal APIs, and it should run the latest Firefox and Chrome for a few years yet.
