## Highlights {#sec-release-24.11-highlights}



- **This will be the latest version of Nixpkgs to support macOS 10.12 (Sierra).**

  Starting with release 25.05, the minimum supported version will be macOS 11 (Big Sur).

  From that point on, packages may or may not work on older releases of macOS.

  Users on old macOS versions should consider upgrading to a supported OS release (potentially using [OpenCore Legacy Patcher](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/) for old hardware) or installing NixOS.

  If neither of those options are viable and you require new versions of software, [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/) supports back to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).



- Convenience options for `amdgpu`, open source driver for Radeon cards, is now available under `hardware.amdgpu`.



- [AMDVLK](https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK), AMD's open source Vulkan driver, is now available to be configured as `hardware.amdgpu.amdvlk` option.
