I got my hands on a old Mac for free, says (C) 2007 Model A1226 on the bottom, but not even semi-new firefox runs on this thing probably because OS X 10.8.5 is too old . Is it possible to still run a working MacOS release or should I give up any hope and install Linux?

That model should be able to run 10.11 El Capitan at newest. El Capitan is probably a good deal better than Mountain Lion, but it's definitely on the old side by now, the latest Firefox requires 10.12 Sierra. And unfortunately it looks like that model is too old for any of the patcher programs to support it.
You'd probably be best off with Linux, though might be able to get by still on OS X just not with the latest versions of most programs.

I don't have imessage activated on my Iphone, what causes the "you may be charged for facetime" popup to trigger? Losing carrier network and reconnecting? Happens rarely but still fucking annoying when it pops mid-game.

I can't find the update on the app store, how the hell do I update this thing? >though might be able to get by still on OS X just not with the latest versions of most programs. Unfortunately right now Safari gives out SSL certificate errors so it's basically unusable.
using an a1260 with snow leopard, are there any browsers that can handle the bogged-down, js-laden hellscape that is current year internet? best so far is 'nightly', but it's based on firefox 52 and a good many sites are broken or just refuse to load
you can use xquartz to access modern firefox or chrome on a remote linux machine

Is that your only machine? Or are you just trying to get some use out of an old machine lying around?

support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683 For some reason apple has a page up with links to download everything back to Yosemite, yet they don't just leave the App Store items listed.

Core Duo MBPs can't use newer than I think Mavericks, the update after that, Catalina, required 64 bit. You're one year too late to use opencore to get newer versions installed - you can get everything up to Big Sur on 64 bit based intel MBPs.
That's why Core Duo MBPs are getting dirt cheap. Can't do nearly as much with them, with the Mac OS.
The cost of upgrading to an SSD and maxing out the ram would be around the same amount to get a newer MBP that would run newer versions of MacOS.
Nathan Hernandez
You have to do it manually, that machine is too old for the app store.
Older versions are floating around the internet, but I'm not gonna find them for you. Ever since Apple stopped charging for their OS, it's easy to find all of the installers.

Why would they clutter the App store up with installers for OSes that can't run the App Store? The Mac app store came out in like 2011/12, before that it was only for mobile devices.
Jack Adams
That's not a Core Duo, Core Duo was only early 2006. Honestly kinda weird they even made them if they'd just waited half a year 32-bit intel macs wouldn't exist. Core Duos top off all the way back on Snow Leopard, then Late 2006 is Lion, and everything newer officially supports up to El Capitan, nothing was dropped between Lion and El Capitan.
Jayden King
Four of the downloads on that page are on the Mac App Store, and the Mac App Store existed for every single version on that page. They're just unlisted for whatever reason.
Colton Thomas
Me again, just realized it looks like you confused Mojave (10.14) and Mavericks (10.9). Catalina simply dropped 32-bit apps, 32-bit computers had been unsupported for a *very* long time at that point. None of that really matters for the other user's computer though since it only got up to El Capitan (10.11) and was never supported by patchers.
>On April 13, 2010,[41] Intel Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs were introduced in the 15- and 17-inch models, while the 13-inch retained the Core 2 Duo with a speed increase.
Stop correcting me when you don'td have a single fucking clue about this. Everything Apple was selling in 2007 was Core Duo, except for the Xeon based Pro.
Possibly, i've forgotten most of that old stuff from that era, I don't need it anymore.

I don't even have to click your link to see it proves you wrong. Late 2006 until 2010 was Core 2 Duo. Which is different. Core 2 Duo is 64-bit while Core Duo is 32-bit. *Intel* Core 2 Duo is also clearly intel, as mentioned 3 times on your own source.
Core i did indeed come out in 2010, but that's not relevant to literally anything I said, there are many Intel Core 2 Duo Macs that can run Monterey using OCLP, this one just happens to be one year too old.
Literally nothing on your page contradicts anything I said.
