I just miss all the backwards comparability Jobs used to maintain. When he was driving the bus, he may have been a complete asshole, but he made sure a 12 year old mac computer could still work with the new tech, as best as it could.

Snow Leopard was the last, glorious OSX that was secure (enough), and very malleable.

Now? I want to dump their whole ecosystem.

Do it. I did and never regretted it. I don’t know anyone who has. And you aren’t locked in like you think. It’s really easy to convert everything over.

I don’t think Apple has every really had great backwards compatibility. Apple’s last PowerPC computers shipped in 2005, and in 2009 Snow Leopard released with no PowerPC support. That’s 4 years of upgrades, which is about the same as it is now for macOS.
