I'm still surprised how much drive this project has, a platform that doesn't want to support it and could introduce breaking changes any day.

Just why?

There are millions of Macbooks out there that will be out of MacOS support one day. If this project diverts just a fraction of them from becoming e-waste for a little, it will be a win.

And then beyond that, there is simply no laptop manufacturer that meets the quality of Apple's hardware design. I like Macs for their hardware, the software is a compromise. A linux macbook would be my ideal laptop.

dont most ppl just throw these laptops in the trash, or does someone give you money to turn an out of support mac in somewhere

Because they want to. Their time, their choice.

This horse has been beat to death on HN. Because the apple laptop ecosystem is the highest quality laptop you can purchase.

Maybe so, but nothing beats the 2008-2013 Thinkpad keyboards. The key travel and tactility are unmatched even by later Thinkpads. Also no trackpoint.
