would happen. Or i wonder if i really could install this package or os to this system is it possible. I guess i'll try it to find out. You can't do stuff like that in a production environment. So I'll only spend the money to save the time if the system i'm working on is a necessity.

Regarding backwards compatibility you can't always assume that given the
unique hardware and operating system of the Macintosh universe. You
could assume some similarity across Linux versions, but even that is not
a good generality to rely upon either. Speaking only for myself, I can
agree that one cannot and perhaps should not keep up with the "latest
and greatest" if the costs don't warrant it. However, it is also more
expensive to ignore or overlook the engineering details and limits
designed into the hardware or software.
If costs do matter, then deeper study and examination of the details
into the hardware and software design will eventually not only save
money but something even more precious than money -- time! Your own and
certainly the time for whomever uses the system you eventually repair.
Even if only as a consideration, time always matters.
