alt Hacker NewsThe iMac Pro is a 2017 computer, although it was sold until 2021. So given that it runs Sequoia, that's anywhere from six to ten years of OS support. OCLP will probably figure out how to patch Tahoe for the iMac Pro soon enough, but until then, you can rejoice in the fact that you don't have to run Tahoe.
It could be worse -- at least you didn't spend tens of thousands on a 2019 model Intel Mac Pro in 2023. (Yes, they still sold them, and owners of those will be SOL in 2028. That's probably the worst OS support story in recent Apple history, and it's for some of their most expensive machines)
Actually you are correct. I've been following the HN threads about Tahoe and even watched a few YouTube videos and could only facepalm.
But then again I'll get rid of the iMac Pro this year. I'll have technicians butcher it and salvage whatever they can from it -- I suspect only the SSD will survive -- and will then tell them to hollow it out and put an R1811 board inside it so I can use it as a proper standalone 5K screen. I don't care about Macs anymore, they limit me too much and I can't maintain multiple Linux machines just when I figure I would want to do something that Macs can't do (like experiment with bcachefs or ZFS pools and volumes and snapshots for my continually evolving backup setup).
