macOS Mojave, Redundancy

[Jack S Holt]

macOS Mojave

 

Well I have installed the beta for Mojave and wow it is impressive on my MacBook 12 inch, however learning that my iMac 27 inch, late 2011, is no longer supported I am slightly disgruntled.

 

Does anyone else think that they have made too many devices redundant with the new software?

It's the inevitable price of moving forward,

if you want to direct your bitterness properly,

• be angry at Metal.

Yup, their excuse was that Mojave uses Metal 2 for all desktop compositing and that old GPUs don't support it. There's people out there that have modified kexts and stuff to get it to work on old machines (with graphical/UI glitches) , so my guess is that Apple just didn't want to spend the time tuning it for old hardware. My mid 2011 MBA is unsupported as well.
