Those who don't have TPM 2 are free to use Linux or buy a new computer.

Which is what a lot of them will probably do (either that or keep running
older versions of Windows). Mac users are finding new lives for their old
(unsupported) computers using Linux.

I don't believe that the majority of people whose computers are about to
become obsolete even know that Linux exists, much less know how to
install it. It's sad but people nowadays are very uninformed and
resistant to learn even the simplest things.

 
I sometimes follow the Mac subReddit (less so now than before) and I see
quite a few Mac users (who've usually bought a new Mac) asking what should
they do with their old one. They're either told to put OpenCore on it and
update to a supported version of Mac OS (which won't be an option soon on
Intel Macs) or install Linux. A lot of them go the Linux route.
 
That said, I realize that the majority of Mac users aren't taking part in
the Mac subReddit. Linux runs pretty well on my old 2014 Mac Mini. Though,
usually, when I go to the Mac Mini, I'm trying out something on Mac side of
the computer, not the Linux one.

A co-worker of mine last year decided to buy an old Mac from around 2013
after the seller promised him that he would be able to run the latest
version of MacOS. He got exactly that, but the computer was unbearably
slow. Linux is truly the greater option on old Macs, and that's what I
installed on the 2012 one I just gave away to my wife's faggot friend.

My Mac Mini is a 2012 (6.1, I had it wrong in an earlier post) but I've got
two SSDs in it (no hard drive) and 16 GBs of RAM, so it runs relatively fast
(fast enough for what I do with it, at any rate). I believe it's a 3rd
generation, (i5-3210M dual core CPU, with an Intel 4000 GPU) four
threads, a little older than my Latitude E7450 and E7440, which are also
have dual core Intel CPUs with four threads, and similar Intel GPUs.
