[Solved] MacOS Tahoe compatibility

[gthcd]

Hello,

Apple announces that OpenOffice for Mac will no longer run on some upcoming version of their new operating system Tahoe.

Is this the end of OpenOffice for Mac ?

May I suggest that you make some announcement about this topic ?

Thanks and regards,

I understand that there is an ongoing project to update OpenOffice for all platforms; at what speed this progresses, and what the niceties are for the Mac platforms, I cannot say.

If I had an older Mac, I would seriuosly consider installing on it a linux system on which OpenOffice and other applications work.

Many thanks to both of you

Apple announces that OpenOffice for Mac will no longer run on some upcoming version of their new operating system Tahoe.

Can you provide a link to an announcement that MacOS 26 (Tahoe) won't support OpenOffice? Apple says x86-64 applications will run on MacOS 26, either natively on Intel hardware or using Rosetta 2 on Silicon hardware, and OpenOffice is available as an x86-64 download. I do see that support for x86-64 (Intel) applications will be removed in MacOS 27 (Golden Gate).

Supported platforms for MacOS Tahoe
• ARM64 (Silicon-based Mac hardware)
• x86-64 (Intel-based Mac hardware)

Mac FAQ Q68: Why is MacOS (Tahoe) warning me about OpenOffice?

Thank you MrProgrammer for the clarification. I have no specific information about what future version of Tahoe will no longer include Rosetta. I am currently using 26.5.1 and OpenOffice runs all right. But each time I launch the application a notification pops-up warning me that OpenOffice will not run on a future release of the OS. Probably 27.

Addition : if I read correctly the information in the link you provided to the Golden Gate version of macOS (27), it looks like Rosetta 2 will still be supported in Golden Gate : "... it will be released in late 2026. It will be the first version of macOS to run exclusively on Macs with Apple silicon and the last version with full Rosetta 2 functionality".
