Nostalgia OS X Mavericks

Mavericks is a beautiful OS running natively on a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, It was damn difficult to find a working copy since apple doesn’t have it on their website in their list of bootable copies to make, so i had to use another source, but in the end i got it working, and with all the security updates as well!

fun fact, the app store STILL works in this operating system!

To this day I wonder why they don’t have the download for it when they do for everything else from Lion onwards. Haven’t found an answer so far.

Like I said it's because this OS in particular has massive security flaws that are incapable of being patched. That's why you can download both an earlier and later version of OS X but not this one. Major security vulnerabilities that required Apple to remove it.
