I don't see the point of keeping OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 on my MacBook Pro, Core i5, software is so old SSL certificates are out of date, I can't update neither the stock software or any application

The point is… actually there are multiple points:

Very quick OS with a very good power management;
There are modern browsers available for it;
SSL root certificates can be updated;
Even if you’re to keep some old software it will probably be more useful than whatever else you can find on Linux. At least you get real Adobe, real MS Office and friends :)

hi, I downloaded the ISRG Root X1 certificate file, followed the instructions, added ISRG Root X1 to System (not to login, not to system roots), marked it to always trust, rebooted, but I still cannot install firefox esr or tor

ETA: I cannot use this version of the application with this version of OS X (I have 10.10.5, the application requires 10.12 or later)

That has nothing to do with the root certificates. The root certificates just make it so any browser or whatever on the system can communicate with the internet. If you want a working browser use https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

then all you mentioned about adobe and MS office is useless for this particular X version. I have no interest in a 10 year old adobe version
