Apple continues to support El Capitan (IIRC, with 2 years worth of security updates), so you've still got at least 2 more years of life in your system if you want to stay on a supported version of macOS. Aging MBPs do make very good linux laptops, IMO. My old '07 MBP is still chugging along with Ubuntu. --Jeremy
