I am both sad and somehow excited that the 2012 Mac Mini I've used as a media server, utility box, etc... is "too old" for MacOS major releases now.

I'm waiting on my 2018 MacBook Air daily driver until 11.0.2 or later.

Please drop a comment on if there's life on the other side...

Big Sur is working here.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
