I hate Apple with passion, but my GF has a 2013 Macbook, that is still getting security updates and is totally usable.
I replaced the spinning hard drive a while ago with a fast SSD, while using Clonezilla to copy the content and partitions of the drive.
And you know what? It started like a rocket. It has an Intel CPU, but I don't think installing Linux would have made it much better, especially UX wise.
MacOS is more than half the reason most people buy a Mac and not a cheap laptop.
Still nice meme tho. It's way more relatable than I want to admit it.
How? My 2015 MBA doesn't get any updates afaik ~~but it's not on latest supported OS so I'm not sure~~. Did you use OCLP?
Linux would provide you with security updates for a significantly longer time
Just imagine the concept of software updates that don't care about the hardware.
There were no 2013 MacBooks with spinning disks, last year for that was 2012
Whoops! Then it is even older, you're correct.
Then it's a 2012 model.
One of the best they ever made imo
That 2013 wonβt be getting security updates anymore. Apple only tends to provide security updates for 10 years. Iβd be cautious with that honestly.
