Pathetic support

[T-Bob]

Yeah, I'm sure we could all convince Apple to have a moratorium on adding new features to their OS for five years, so that peasants who can't keep up can stay 'current'. Again, for those with poor comprehension - Apple makes computers to make a profit, they build macOS to sell new Macs. They are not held back by offering a decade of compatibility with old machines. If you can't afford a new Mac every 5 years, please just do yourself a favour and jump into the slow lane of Windows, where you get a 'new' OS every 5 years that needs to be compatible with every poor POS out there that peasants use, so they can maximise sales of their OS. Just don't mind that every 3rd-world coder can write viruses and malware for such a wide-spread platform that needs to be constantly assessed for infection.

This is actually exquisite pastiche, bravo.

Your macdonalds analogy is bogus. If you want to use a Macdonalds analogy, it would be like you complaining that Macdonalds doesn't serve lobster for the price of a junior burger and blaming Macdonalds. You bought a machine that isn't supported by Mojave, and that's your decision. You wanted to get into mac programming as cheaply as possible and then whinge and whine about how Apple's not supporting your OLD Mac, characterising it as pathetic support. As has been stated by others here, you simply didn't do your research.

You really should. Especially when you suggest that OP should try linux for learning how to develop, when OP wants to learn how to develop FOR the Mac.

Clearly you didn't have the time or inclination to actually make an argument.

At least z970mp is providing positive feedback and ideas unlike you who keeps staying negative. I've moved on from my original post about my Mac not getting official Mojave. I figure so what, you know? It still works great. Shoot I may even toss some upgrades like a new battery and a new SSD--ya never know. I'm going to make the best of my machine and find coding to do, find out the best way to be productive with it and learn instead of whining. Basically, I grew up in the last month or so. It would be nice if you could do the same. Thanks. People like you who only come on here to demonize others are not positive people. You probably have a lot of baggage and negativity in your life. Dump that somewhere else and be a better human.

It's not even being negative that's the problem. I'm never positive, yet I can contribute. The problem is being useless to the discussion, while complaining of the faults of everyone you see.

But who cares. Mojave sucks anyway, just like every release since 2014. Considering that, I really don't understand why this entire subject has to be an issue, or a talking point. Everyone should boycott Apple for making overly-expensive products and completely neutering OS X. iPhoto was perfect, Disk Utility once did what you told it to, you could move photos to your desktop without issues, the UI wasn't made with 3-year-olds and mentally special people in mind, I could do this all day.

Let's all move to elementary OS.

Good night, folks.

While I haven't been impressed with Apple's efforts since Yosemite, Mojave is actually pretty good. If elementary OS does what you need to do, then go for it. For me, Apple isn't overly expensive, not when I average out the cost over lifetime, compared with all the extra time I'd need to spend trying to tweak another platform to be as useful as my Macs are.

That's probably the bottom line here. Use what is useful to you.

We have loads of options because one size does not fit all. We need to stop debating and take advantage of that.

And that's all. The end.

I watched dosdude's Mojave patch video on YouTube and I have to say I'm impressed. He's got it running on both a 2009 and 2010 MacBook Pro in his video. There are very few glitches. Looks pretty solid considering it's not an official version.
