![]() ![]() Then again, Apple has not enabled vTPM in firmware on T2 Intel Macs nor released the appropriate drivers, which is really all that keeps Windows 11 from being supported on Intel Macs and unless you have access to an Enterprise LTSC version, Windows 10 only has until October of 2025 to be supported. That having been said, if your main reason for buying a Mac is that it's also a Windows PC and therefore also a Linux machine and that you're not necessarily locked to macOS's support for the machine to run currently supported operating systems, you will probably be disappointed with an Apple Silicon Mac (depending on how long Apple ends up supporting given Apple Silicon Macs). ![]() ![]() It does seem increasingly more likely that Apple will only support direct booting of macOS on Apple Silicon Macs and that any effort to natively boot any other OS will have to come from the kind of reverse engineering that the Asahi Linux project is working on. When and if the device breaks, they go to the Apple Store, get it replaced or buy a new one, sign in with their Apple ID and everything just shows up. Apple is sticking to its philosophy where Macs are known as appliances and its for that grand mother face timing grand kids or that girl in college who just wants to finish writing her thesis in Google Docs and iMessage with her friends. If you don't agree with that, then I would rather purchase a x86 or ARM based device, which is more open and allows for upgrades and longer support. A big part of which involves getting users to upgrade to newer revisions. So, I see M1 Macs potentially getting updates at the end of the decade.Īt the end of the day, Apple is a business with commitments to its shareholders. That means I will still have a supported MacBook Pro although vintage in 2025. ![]() My early 2015 Broadwell MacBook Pro is still getting security updates for Big Sur and its officially eligible for Monterrey. I understand the point of Apple is gonna end OS support after 7 years, keep in mind, you will likely get an additional 2 years of security updates on top of that. ![]()
