As title says, I am interesed in:
-
battery life (drainage issues),
-
performance,
-
bugs / lags etc.
As far as I know there are four options available:
-
continue using the old unsupported MacOS,
-
downloading a newer MacOS through Open Core Legacy Patcher,
-
downloading Linux,
-
and working on the MacBook through a Virtual Machine.
However…
-
I have read that using an old MacOS is unsafe (Is it really if you just browse reputable sites through FireFox and only download items from reputable sources?),
-
I don’t know if OCLP is compatible with real software (apps from AppStore or from a recognized 3rd party like AutoCAD),
-
there are issues with Linux lacking drivers for newer Macs and non existent power management,
-
and what is the performance like working on a Mac through a VM?
The hardware still works and the battery health is Normal, so I don’t feel like there’s a reason to upgrade.
i know literally nothing about mac os features and this macbook has been on this version since i got it, is not updating a liability, are the newer versions performance dampening and is it going to close my browser tabs if i do decide to update? i think those are the main concerns i have but if theres any other factors i've missed thatll be useful too
