It has been a couple of years since I first became aware of OCLP.
A couple of observations:
It continues to improve, adding more compatibility all the time. Thanks OCLP team!
It will be the catalyst that makes me buy a NAS to store backups and my Documents folder. I have had to rebuild my MBP 2013 three times already from non-recoverable situations. Mostly due to trying to apply updates. There must be a lot of variables in the update process that are impossible to fix, and that’s okay. I see others in this forum dealing with the same thing. Hope you all have backups.
The ability to continue to update an older machine hasn’t kept me from upgrading to newer machines, it just allowed me to continue to use an older machine for light work.
My 2013 machine is an i7 with lots of cores and memory. Plenty of power still. But I replaced it with an M1 in 2021 because support ended. I keep the 2013 MBP around for sentimental reasons. I just don’t store anything on it anymore. Offloading to NAS would be ideal for me.
I hope this helps someone keep their Mac smiling and their approach to this sane.
