@ctietze Yes, there are some graphic glitches in Light Mode, similar to what you see with #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher installed machines.
I suppose the VM graphical rendering in not 100% ready for #macOS #Tahoe (probably due to the new #Metal version).
@rjfaas having just used #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher on my old iMac I found this part amusing: "It’d also keep iMacs useful even when their specs inevitably become outdated". Unfortunately that is not something Apple cares about.
Very impressed so far with #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher. I installed it on my old 2015 iMac who's internal drive struggled to boot, giving the spinning rainbow cursor constantly.
I've just put Sequoia on an external SSD and it runs nearly as well as my M3 iMac.
Only downside so far is despite following all instructions for getting Universal Control working, I can't 
and it's a really neat feature.
Alt und trotzdem gut: Mac Pro 6,1 mit neuestem macOS ausstatten
Der Mac Pro aus dem Jahr 2013 ist ohne Zweifel ein besonderer Mac. Sein zylindrisches Design erinnert an einen Champagner-Kühler, oder - eher despektierlich - an einen Mülleimer. Damals war das Gerät ein Top-Computer, aber natürlich ist auch er in Jahre geko

Hey #linux folk, I have an old 2015 iMac that stopped working a while ago. I think the internal drive crapped out.
I was thinking of putting #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher on an external SSD but I've heard it can get slow so then I started looking at Linux instead.
I'd be using it as a media/Jellyfin server mainly, but wanted to see if it'd be possible to run Linux on an external drive (media on another separate drive) and bypass the internal drive completely?
Also it would have to be pretty lightweight, I looked at Debian but don't have experience with that.
One Weird Trick For Running Modern macOS On Ancient Macs
Ich habe letzte Woche ein MacBook Air 11 Zoll von 2014 gekauft und heute die neueste Mac-OS-Version installiert. Und das funktioniert überraschend gut! Danke an OpenCore Legacy Patcher, dass sie alte Macs mit ihrem Projekt so weiter nutzbar machen.
Ich finde den Formfaktor so toll! Jetzt möchte ich eine neue Version mit besserem Bildschirm und Apple Silicon!
@erik Vielleicht zuerst ein aktuelles macOS via #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher aufspielen, dann forschen, was es an ebenso aktueller Kinderschutzsoftware gibt?
@codemonkeymike You max be able to run a current #macOS in this using #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher
Installed macOS Sequoia 15.3 on my 27-inch, Late 2012 iMac using OpenCore Legacy Patcher.
Slow, and some features that require Apple silicon are disabled, but it’s stable. Kind of amazing that it works.
I've been trying to decide what to do with this "old" MacBook Pro that is now unsupported by Apple.
I really liked that machine and I am a little bummed that it is unsupported.
My current two options are:
- Use the #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher and update it to Sonoma
- Install #LinuxMint on it.
I don't really want to keep it as is since it doesn't get security updates anymore.
I have just been #rickrolled! 
#OpenCoreLegacyPatcher
@cbo9 Alternatively if you just want to run a more modern macOS, that is also possible with #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher.
I had this running macOS 13 Ventura before I switched to Linux. That is also was relatively straightforward and you need do nothing special to make the Camera work:
One of my colleagues works remotely and used to do occasional testing on a #Mac. However the Mac he had was left lying around since it was stuck on 10.13 and hence has not been getting security updates since November 12, 2020 and has not even been usable with Vivaldi for a long while also.
We are sending him a newer Apple Silicon based Mac (since that would also allow easier testing of internal builds using iOS simulator) but in the mean time I pointed out that he could upgrade his current machine with #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher, despite Apple preventing upgraded via the regular method.
He went all the way from #macOS #HighSierra 10.13, right up to macOS 15 #Sequoia without any obvious issues. Once again, it is silly that Apple is letting these working machines just be wasted.
@Daz_Wallace is an editing ninja... as just a few days after our last #LondonAppleAdmins meetup the video is ready to go.
And I've even managed to get a blog post together about my session

It was fun to dig into the inner workings of #opencore and #opencoreLegacyPatcher - and try to sound like I knew what I was talking about...
FWIW, this old Intel MacBook did get Safari updated yesterday, after using #OCLP to update to Ventura.
Had it been down to Apple, this machine could have been a botnet now for all they care. 
Also, it is Safari this time and what if it was another part of the OS? Again Monterey has received its last updates already. If you have a pre-2017 Mac and don't fancy #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher and do not want (or cannot afford) new hardware perhaps also consider Linux
If you are a #Safari user and have an "older" Mac (before 2017) stuck running macOS 12 (Monterey) or older, keep in mind you are NOT getting critical security updates, which includes the OS bundled software, such as Safari.
You need to update your whole OS. And sadly for many Mac users that officially translates to buy a new Mac.
If you cannot update your macOS "officially", consider #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher but at the very least switch browser in the mean time. @Vivaldi would work for example… just saying 
I'm speaking at London Apple Admins tomorrow night.

I'm feeling woefully underprepared... but I'm sure it'll all be fine. I'll be talking about the fun (?) I've had with #Opencore and #opencoreLegacyPatcher and why running macOS 14 on an iMac from 2008 is a good idea, and not the bad idea you might think it is... (I'll share the livestream tomorrow if I remember!)
