Using Big Sur and OpenCore Legacy Patcher on 2012 Mac mini

I’ve noticed that this Mac Mini forum is currently filled with discussions about the new M4 model, and understandably so, as it has generated a lot of excitement. However, I want to shift the focus back to the 2012 Mac Mini, which I own and have made some upgrades to, specifically an SSD and an increase to 8GB of RAM. This machine continues to run smoothly on Mac OS 10.15 with a web browser that remains supported.

I’m curious if anyone in the forum has experience with the same 2012 Mac Mini model regarding the installation of newer operating systems like Big Sur using OpenCore Legacy Patcher. I would like to know how it performs if anyone has taken that route. Additionally, I’m also interested in the performance of OS Sequoia when using OCLPatcher on the same hardware.

I appreciate any insights or experiences shared by other users who have experimented with these updates. It’s great to see how older models can still be relevant with the right software tweaks, but I want to ensure that those of us with the 2012 model can continue to have a solid user experience. Thank you in advance for your input.
