One Weird Trick For Running Modern macOS On Ancient Macs
https://www.pcbway.com - PCB fabrication, assembly, 3D printing, CNC machining & more!
The last macOS release to officially support this 2008 Intel MacPro 3,1 was El Capitan way back in 2015, and that hasn't received any security updates since 2018! So let's run a bang up to date release instead, thanks to a community project known as OCLP.
