Your laptop and desktop are 10 years old, and that’s it. They are not supported by anyone, they just didn’t die on you yet. Apple actually supports their devices for that long easily, that’s one category they really outshine their competitors in.

Also, the macs are not at all locked down if we are talking about that. OSX is pretty much a general linux with a generally supported graphical environment on top.

MBP from 2017 is the oldest supported device.

By the latest OS. By what OS is your desktop supported actively?

Also, iphones are supported for almost 10 years.

Fedora 38, Windows 10

I'm not asking about phones, we were talking about laptops.

Are they support your exact model? Or they can run them, and may even have a sticker for windows compatibility? That’s very different thing.
