    I just updated a few 2011 iMacs to Monterey using this: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

    They’re a bit more sluggish than they were on High Sierra, but everything works well enough. For some reason I couldn’t get the latest version to work but a previous one worked great (1.5 vs 2.2)

      I put Sequoia on my 2011 MBP, but it felt like a step too far for the poor old gal. So I wiped the drive and put Mint on it. Runs nice. My 2014 Mini server is running Mint too.

        I just put Mint on a different 2011 iMac 27”, haven’t done Linux since Yellow Dog. Much nicer experience so far
