> Apple seems to get a lot of praise for long term software support
Not aware of this, and actually, it seems like the contrary. Apple repeatedly deprecates stuff and makes users and developers dance around a rather quick, and very unreliable software deprecation cycle which makes it terrible to do anything long term on Mac.
Plenty of examples for this. Just ask around.
- jerlam 1y agoMacOS is worse, my experience is that you might get ten years of support. The Apple Silicon migration is making it worse and shortening the support periods. A 2017 MacBook Air can only run MacOS 12 - which was unsupported last year, giving a total of seven years of support. Yes, you can run OpenCore Patcher if you want to stretch the definition of support.
