Does Apple continue to patch these old versions?

By "door-stops" are you referring to your hardware becomes a
"door-stops" once the M$ reaches EOL?

I have 7 peaces of hardware that are "door-stops". I breath life into
them with a bit of RAM, an SSD drive, and Linux.

When my Win10 laptop hits EOL I will simply replace Win10 with something
like Kubuntu, and I will keep using it.

My plan is to become M$ free by Oct25.

I curious, isn't your old Apple hardware in the same boat? Or does
Apple support the older O/S version for years after the EOL?
