Ventura is supported on both Apple and Intel Macs. It is even supported on 2013+ Mac Pros. It's certainly supported on my newer Intel Mac mini.

So, it's worth a look just to see what it's like.

You can install far more than 2 drives on a Mac Pro.

It would be if not for Storage Spaces.

I have just read that it will not work on the trash can, in fact, nothing under 2017. Not that it matter much to my friend, she is still two version under than what her machine can take, she hates the newer versions of Mac Os, her view is it makes her computer more like a mobile phone. I heard that somewhere else.

I expect she will get a Mac studio at some point.

the new one? I suppose you can, but who in their right mind will pay that amount of money for a computer?

Never used it

You're right; the system requirements seem to have changed at some point. But it still supports my Mac mini, so I'll give it a whirl.

To be honest, I haven't noticed the OS becoming more like a mobile phone. It works better with them than older versions, but the functionality is completely different. I can't imagine using XCode on a phone (or even a tablet).

Agreed. Command line on MacOS just as useful as ever. Install brew and it’s awesome. Networking tools are exceptional. Leaves MS in the dark ages.

WSL fights back quite well.

I just bit the bullet and went for Ventura, one app failed (FileBot), but reinstalled that, and all now fine..... I will update if there are any glitches. This is on a 2018 Mac mini.

For interest, I have a number of other Macs from 2009 Mini's through 2011, 2012 Mini's and 2008 iMac, various air's and MBP's, all running Monterey (12.6) via OpenCore patcher - occasional minor HD3000 and 4000 Safari graphics issues, but in the main all good (just use Chrome to get round those minor issues) Pretty much everything else works fine, only minor fail is wakeup via Apple Watch with ancient WiFi cards. I await a Ventura version of OCLP, but suspect that may be a little while
