I’m running 10.13.6 for the simple reason it runs APFS. And honestly, I think I should’ve stuck with 10.12 running a real MacOS: MacOS Extended (Journaled). Trade monopoly rules may just make that happen for consumer protection.
It will be a matter of time before I switch to a 16” MBP, the kind with a stupid touchbar & no effing ports (unless they give it a serious rethink, though I have my doubts). We real Mac people don’t care much about thinner & lighter (that’s just greedy), we want user-upgradeable, functional Macs.
Now, there’s no doubt the Unix-based OS X was a great improvement for stability and compatibility over OS 9. But there is no way I want to switch to FrankenOS. We’re okay with being fenced-in by the Apple ecosystem but they have no need to tighten the noose.
I have Notifications shut permanently off (do you really need to know any of that nonsense in real time?!?), made my iPhone 5c stupid (who wants to read the Internet on a postage stamp!?!), will NEVER adopt the Internet of Things, and have no interest in convergence. And Siri can take a hike! I don’t want iOS, padOS (even every month), watchOS. All these are just scams to part us from our money with shinier expensive kit.
I want a real Mac OS which works like a Mac! IMNHO, ideally, I’d like my Mac OS to run 32-bit and even PowerPC applications. I run a lot of GREAT legacy apps. Unfortunately, the new crew is running Apple into the ground. No vision since Steve Jobs.
I want my files to sit right where I put them, not some virtual alias. So NO Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur—HA!
I’ll probably wait to buy until MBPs come with a second iteration of ARM processors. I’m not the early adopter type unless my present MBP dies. But I sure miss my dead 17-inch. Size matters!
My question is, any guesses as to how long I can keep running Sierra or High Sierra on the newest Macs???
TIA!
