    Many will tell you that buying Intel-based hardware from Apple is buying obsolete models.

    They have great hardware and will always run Linux. I have KDE Neon running on my 2013 MacBook Air, and it runs like a champ. It’s the perfect travel laptop.

    • Similar boat here with a Mid 2012 MBP. Build quality is amazing, Linux runs great, and the touchpad gestures work really well.

      My only complaint is Broadcom’s awful blob WLAN driver, the libre alternative driver is more stable but sadly 1/4 of the speed

      Yes, but keeping the old Apple hardware alive was not the point of the article. The point was to try to run MacOS on non Apple hardware.

      That line was in reference to how long Apple would be supporting MacOS on Intel, which for the Hackintosh community, also means how long they can continue to build Macs with off the shelf parts.

      These people don’t care about the Apple hardware. They like MacOS and want hardware that they can upgrade and tweak.

        Well, it’s a quote from the article. And I’m commenting on the quote from the article. I’m sorry if you didn’t like my comment, but you could have skipped it instead of making it part of your day.
