    It’s not improving it cause apple can use it. It’s improving cause people can use it even after apple is not supporting it or don’t like apple’s OS.

      To me it’s similar to buying illegal animal products and showcasing it for public awareness

        It’s more like reducing global ewaste and keeping ecology better, when apple drop support, people better use still capable hardware than buy a new one from apple

          Yea. I like my MacBook and I like macOS (yes, I know, shame on me). But in a few years, when Apple eventually stops supporting it, I can just put Linux on it and keep using it (or give it to a relative who just needs a working computer). It’s good hardware and in true Apple fashion, it will probably outlast its software. I also have an old Core 2 Duo unibody macbook laying around and while it is possible to put the latest macOS on (thanks hackintosh community), Linux is a much better experience and the MacBook is sturdier and has a better trackpad and keyboard than most new laptops, even many that are much more expensive.

            I only use old PC hardware (mostly apple) that friends and family give me for free 😂 Linux is great
