Be careful of planned obsolescence in the apple world, it sadly applies to their computers too. A MacBook from 2013-2015 almost certainly can't be upgraded to the latest Mac OS releases and stopped getting security updates long ago. IMHO just go full Linux on it.

But if you do need to dual boot I remember doing it a few times and the refind bootloader was very nice: https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/

Using OpenCore Legacy Patcher [1] older Macs can run newer versions of MacOS that no longer officially support the hardware.

I'm running MacOS Ventura on a Macbook Air 2013 and Macbook Pro 2015 with it. They work reasonably well and get patch updates via official updates when released.

Ventura (current MacOS release as of April 2023) is the first major version of MacOS that does not run on a 2015 MacBook Pro.

Security updates are still happening.

I might be impressed except I ran Linux for a while and Linux gets updates even longer and the devs writing those patches often don’t get paid
