The browser obsolescence walls are officially caving in on my El Capitan mid-2009 MacBook Pro. How can I extend the usable life of this thing? (alien.top)

All of the hardware is fine. I am looking for is web browsing and open office. Is there a good lightweight linux distro for 2009 MBP that will let me browse the web in the latest chrome or firefox?

I am well aware that chromebooks are basically free when compared to the new cost of this MacBook Pro, but this a sentimental object.

Open core legacy patcher will allow you to update to a much newer OS that still supports all browsers. Check out YouTube videos by MrMacintosh for info and tutorials. Then enjoy your new Mac. It is a game changer
