That sounds ideal actually. Thanks for the tip. I basically want the oldest version of Mac OS / OS X that will run the latest version of Firefox. Each new version after Catalina was worse than the last for dev work, to the point that I switched to Windows with WSL for a few years; back on Linux now.
I just needed to use ETC’s lighting design software to design a show which wouldn’t run on my iMac. I should just upgrade but I don’t want to when the hardware still works perfectly well
My 2012 MacBook Pro ran Sequoia with minimal lag using OpenCore. My suggestion would be to install Sequoia fresh rather than install something earlier and upgrade.
It'll be great if it works. My iMac been stuck in an annoying sort of technological limbo for the last couple of years. The hardware is perfectly good enough for what I want to use it for, but not being able to update the OS has meant I couldn't use it online securely.
I'll let everyone know how I get on. I only just found out about legacy Patcher super recently, but I've always believed that the dropping of support for '32bit' Macs (that weren't really 32bit) when Mojave came out was sneaky forced obsolescence - this project proves it.
They were all well specced machines when they were new, so a lot of 10+ year old Macs are more powerful than brand-new entry-level PCs. Apple makes $billions by trying to force their users to turn perfectly functional computers, phones and tablets into e-waste.
