What applies to Windows versions is irrelevant to Mac OS versions. Also really only 32 bit Win10 is a Win10 issue (yes it existed, I had it here!). Any 64 bit Windows 10 should be fixable for Calibre 7 without "upgrade" to Windows 11 (which might cause issues or not work, which may be why Win11 uptake is low compared to what Win10 was).
Disclaimer, the last MacOS I used much was 9!

yes, it's an intel. That is part of the problem. As another wrote, apple is throwing intel users under the bus. Is there any particular feature of the ventura or sonoma that is critical to Calibre's new features that prevent it from having been able to be compatible? Upgrading (either ventura or above) is not a *favored* option for me for the reasons in the article and other articles, as well as the simple fact that I don't particularly have any interest in the supposed improvements that they offer (and there are some drawbacks). I don't fault Calibre for needing to be able to run on the latest OS, but am disappointed it seemed necessary to do so in a way that also throws us under the bus. Somewhat like having to buy a new car because the CD player doesn't work anymore and the car makers are having a pi****ng contest.
