From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You don't have to use the latest OS.
Yes, Tahoe will be the last. However that will last you another year and then you'll get a couple more years of security updates after that, so it will still be safe to use. The thing is already >10 years old so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement before then.
Putting Linux on a Mac is, in my experience, a right pain in the ass. They have proprietary hardware and drivers that just make it very painful.
