Yeah, I am a little disappointed that this is the first upgrade that I cannot get with my late 2015 iMac. I'd use the legacy patcher perhaps, but I don't see much on this new version that I would want, so i'd rather keep things offical for now, to avoid any issues.

Yes, I get that this machine is 7 years old, but I cannot tell from using it, everything is extremely fast, I upspecced it when I bought it and maxed out a lot of things, it has a decent i7 processor, 32gb of ram and 1tb ssd and the m395x maxed out graphics card, heck it still games well in Windows.

I really see zero reason to upgrade, it runs better than my new work windows laptop except that Apple have decided for some reason I can't get the update.

I had every desire and intention of upgrading my desktop (late 2015 iMac) to the newer hardware, right up until they decided this hardware is somehow incompatible with the newest MacOS.

They've basically just ended 20 years of Mac for me.

Pity.

I hit the same issue back in the 10.4 > 10.5 upgrade days, my computer's OX911 Firewire controller chip just became unstable. No official acknowledgment from Apple, thousands of angry Apple Discussions posts.

MBP 2015 with Fedora 36 Silverblue:

* Camera didn't work.

* Sound coming out from built-in speakers was flat.

* Broadcom Wi-Fi didn't work out of the box.

Didn't spot any other issues during tests.
