Secondly, you are really doing yourself no favours claiming El Capitan not needing bug fixes. It doesn't require bug fixes, as the OS is fully mature.įor once, there are architectural improvements to security as well as fixes to longstanding bugs that do come with major OS releases. El Capitan is still receiving security updates. You could download the old system software, but note you'd be missing out on all the bug fixes, security patches, and updates since then. The best improvements IMO have been in the improved/added keyboard shortcuts and tabbing access (though still lacking as compared to Windows) and in window management (still lacking the memory of column size that windows has and sometimes forgets previous window size).Īnd they seem to report that as of Nov 20 MBPs are shipping with Sierra.
I don't find the hidden Library folder helpful, but might in its preventing less experienced users from mucking around important system files. Apple has made significant changes to the GUI OSX since SL. It is available elsewhere on the Internet and can be had through torrent sites as a last ditch effort.īecause only the icons change the GUI experience in OSX is unchanged since Snow Leopard or earlier. Apple does not make old operating systems easily available to the public, but they are not deleted from its servers. If you want 5k then you really should do it Apple's way with the OS du jour.
Because Apple hardware is fixed and what it is not, particularly GPU hardware and drivers, and what users do on it is also fixed under the hood improvements, unawesome as they are, also are difficult to appreciate in newer versions of OSX but are there. Apple defines legacy as anything they sold you an hour ago.īecause only the icons change the GUI experience in OSX is unchanged since Snow Leopard or earlier. However if you research the facts instead of the opinions you might find that the programs and peripherals you cherish will run on High Sierra, as just about anything should although Apple can be arbitrarily obnoxious about legacy support compared to Microsoft. Some of us horde these things for no apparent reason and some do not, like old Windows installation media. You would need to have the installation media for an older OS which Apple deletes from its servers with each new OS release or upgrade. You can follow Bent's advice but I think you would be wrong.
