    How do I Dual Boot Sierra and Monterey on a 2015 MacBook Pro?

    I have a 2015 MacBook Pro that runs macOS Sierra 10.12.6. I never felt compelled to upgrade as it has always performed smoothly for me and runs my 32 bit apps and games. This past year or so, Chromium based-browsers have been removing support, many modern websites no longer work, so now I am...

    macOS Moving from Sierra to Monterey. Will my Bash and Python code survive?

    I am using Sierra right now but will be moving over to a new Mac soon. Many years ago I learned some basic programming (bash and python) and wrote a few little scripts that I still use a lot for work. I have since forgotten most of what I had learned, though. I read somewhere that the version...

But I've also recently read that Mojave does support Fusion Drive. But my question is that if it supports custom Fusion Drive (not made by Apple)...
