Added to what said Richard,
you can also with OpenCore Legacy Patcher
<https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/> upgrade to some OS
that is not officially supported by your computer, in the case it's an
old mac.
Provided the computer is strong enough to handle the new OS, it may give
a better lifetime...

The newest your hardware can handle, unless you have apps that require
32-bit support (for which Mojave is the last OS version that has it)
or that for some other reason will break in a newer OS. Don't be more
than two or three behind (I think it's really years, somewhere in the
3 to 5 range) if you want at least security updates. (don't expect
much other updates for OS versions near the old end of what still gets
security updates)
Exception: if you want less problems with MacPorts and don't want to
be part of solving problems much, wait a few months on Sequoia; don't
go later than Sonoma yet. The first few months of any new OS major
version can have more pain for apps and software from anywhere, esp.
open source software with lots of dependencies and mostly or totally
unpaid volunteer support.
For software that is neither MacPorts nor Mac App Store,
https://roaringapps.com/apps may provide some indication (if someone
has reported! there are plenty of unknowns) whether listed apps will
work on a given OS version. There may be other such sites, but that's
the one I know about.

Hi all.
I’ve been putting off upgading from Mojave for as long as I could.
But it seems inevitable at some near point. Which OS would you
reccomend?
Thank you.
