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.
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
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.
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?
That 2013 won’t be getting security updates anymore. Apple only tends to provide security updates for 10 years. I’d be cautious with that honestly.
