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see the point of keeping OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 on my MacBook Pro, Core i5, software is so old SSL certificates are out of date, I can't update neither the stock software or any application

I would personally install Linux Mint on it, or any other modern distro. That’s a CPU that has ~3000 points on Passmark, which means that most DEs work fine with it, but I think that Cinnamon would shine the most with it. I personally use XFce/Mate for anything between 500 and 1200 points, Cinnamon from 1200+, KDE 2000+, Gnome 2500+. I use LXQT or a WM on anything below 500. I “save” old computers of friends or cousins by installing Linux on their old machines, and that’s been my experience so far.
