hardware seems solid, software is so old even SSL certificates are out of date. I downloaded the ISRG Root X1 certificate to update them and even then stock safari doesn’t work with many webpages, including apple’s.

recently I updated to security patches released in 2017 and that’s about all I can do with this notebook.

I don’t see my model listed on OpenCore Legacy Patcher

If you know of any way to upgrade the software, let me know.

Otherwise, wiping it and installing a linux distro seems the way to go
