last time there was a major electron update (electron 27 / v13.6.5), it dropped support for macOS 10.13/10.14 and changelog / migration-guide don't have that information

I think this is a little different, because it's dropping support for a major macOS version 10.x.

It would fit well into the top section of https://docs.cypress.io/app/references/migration-guide#Migrating-to-Cypress-140

My question was aimed more at the Cypress.io team than you, so I would wait to see what their views are.

@alexsch01

Thank you for highlighting that the macOS minimum version was out of date.

I've followed up my suggestion to add the topic also to the Cypress 14 migration guide and submitted PR #6123. I'm not a macOS user myself, so you're welcome to check the PR to see if it is accurate.
