    On similar note, it’s a shame to see perfectly functional older systems to be left behind due to expired root certificates or other similar issues. I don’t care about the bells and whistles of newer OS, but is there a way to update older systems to support slightly newer encryption standards so it can continue to hang on for a bit longer (as macOS system, I know of course I can install Ubuntu on it)? — looking at my unibody aluminum MacBook from 2011 or so, for example.

      I have an old Mac Mini that is relegated to a closet because of this. My parents could have used it for basics like email and browsing but they can’t because there’s no way to update it to allow those certs to work again.
