So they keep breaking previously functioning components even in older OS versions? I thought those were only getting security updates?

Until recently only Windows was the OS where I thought, "how could anyone use that voluntarily?", but Apple has managed to put their OSs right next to that in the same category. After a monotonous decline over more than a decade the final slump only took them three years. They've gotten better at failing faster than before.

I wholeheartedly recommend Linux. Seriously.
