MacBook Air owner?

2018/2019 models are losing #Apple support.

#OptGreen with #GNU/#Linux to keep your device in use! These machines will run beautifully for many years to come.

Not only wallet friendly, #upcycling keeps CO2 emissions out of the atmosphere. Ca. 75% of Apple's emissions comes from production alone (details in alt text).

Sustainable, independent #FreeSoftware: Better for users, best for the #environment.

5 year old computers are end of life? What is wrong with apple. I'm glad I only bought one iphone and moved back to android afterwards

@GravitySpoiled They may provide security updates for a couple of more years, but as the article points out, Intel Macs in the Apple Silicon era are on their way out.

Yep, if it's anything like the ppc to x86 transition there will be security updates for a year or two before they drop support entirely.
