Impossibly complex instructions made much easier by OpenCore Legacy Patcher. Ignore this page and use that GUI instead. Trust me.
Back up your data first!

I keep a copy because it’s the last revision which officially supports my hardware.

Brave is a web browser that uses components from Chrome to build a more security-conscious browser which also has an alternate advertising mechanism with revenue sharing.
Like Chrome, it’s missing fundamental things.

Apple stops providing support and a download for old hardware. However, it is possible to force an install. The project that is responsible for this magic has achieved something truly spectacular, making it trivially easy using this GUI software.
WARNING: This is an extremely stupid and dangerous process to attempt without reading, understanding, and preparing the whole process up front. See #.spiralofhope.com/83891/opencore-legacy-patcher.html#plan. It really is very easy and works 100% for “only fairly ancient” hardware, but “very ancient” hardware might not be fully supported (yet?).

Ventoy does not officially support a mac, but getting a Linux ISO working turns out to be trivial, and all the hardware “just works”.
Note: I did not bother troubleshooting even a tiny bit. I only wanted my Lubuntu persistence setup to work, and it does. Feel free to comment if you have suggestions or successes.
