Should OS makers, like Microsoft, be legally required to provide 15 years of security updates?

    Are we talking OpenCore Patcher? I was actually planning on trying that for my Early 2013 MBP, but I’m leaning more towards some Linux distro now, for the longevity of it, though I haven’t yet figured out which distro supports my MBP the best. Got any recommendations to share on some of this?

      Yes, OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

      Regarding Linux distributions, I don’t have a specific recommendation. You might be worse off with a distro that doesn’t include nonfree drivers for wifi, bluetooth, graphics by default. IIRC these MBPs use Broadcom Wifi chips. Ubuntu and derivatives would be my first try. Definitely read up on how to install Linux on MBPs. You probably might have to configure something in OpenFirmware/EFI.
