Owner of a late 2013 15" MBP here. I never been eager to upgrade to new mac version too.

> Some time ago I was forced to upgrade to Sierra

Until about a month ago I ran Sierra - which worked fine and in 2 years didn't crash my mpb once.

Then I had to compile a few ios apps for work, and since xcode was outdated on Sierra, I had to upgrade to High Sierra. High Sierra kept crashing on me. Several coworkers also had this experience and suggested to upgrade to Mojave.

Meanwhile Apple also kept pushing to upgrade to Mojave via an os notification they showed a few times a day. So I sadly ran the "upgrade" to find out the system was much less stable than before. No I see why. Sadly my GFX-750 isn't supported.

For me this is the end of the line on macs. Newer MBPs have broken keyboard that Apple refuses to fix, and are really expensive to the old hardware they come with. And apparently you cannot even expect a >$3500 MBP to outlive 5 years because Apple breaks it with their software patches.

I'll have to buy a new laptop because I cannot even connect a proper external monitor anymore. Obviously it won't apple product. I'm thinking to go System76.

Thanks for the warning. I'll stick to Sierra as long as I can.

It sucks, though, that these crappy updates make us reluctant to keep our system up to date. It shouldn't be like this. New versions should be better, not worse. And it should be possible to roll back a bad upgrade.
