Introduction

It’s been six months since I installed macOS Sonoma on my 2015 MacBook Pro. In case, you are wondering how, the answer is — Open Core Legacy Patcher or OCLP. Had it not been for OCLP, my Mac would have been stuck on macOS Monterey and would have deprived me of some amazing features like Universal Control, Continuity Camera, Stage Manager, and many more. I have already covered my one-month review of OCLP last year where I listed out some benchmark scores, bugs, and new features that I was able to run on my MacBook Pro.
