Hi Ian,
I too would like to see support for High Sierra continue. Here is some
additional information to support the hardware argument.
Currently on eBay there are over 300 Mac Minis from mid 2010 and mid 2011
and a quick eyeball makes it seem like they can be had for less than
US$100. (And th
I have a Mid 2013 Macbook Pro that stopped being supported by MacOS several
releases ago.
I heard about OpenCore, which magically patches the installer for the
current release of MacOS

the latest version
of MacOS Ventura

Primarily the argument is that High Sierra is the most stable version of
OSX,
and thus preferred by those who highly value stability and reliability. It
is also the only

I’d like to understand this a bit better as well. I currently develop an OSX
