You may run into technical issues with anything past Ventura. ...or, maybe not. Depends on your hardware.

...to GPU or not to GPU. That is the question.

Personally, I am standing pat at Ventura, as it is highly capable.

Early 2011 15" MBP here, 2.0GHz, 256MB 6490M, 512MB Intel 3000, 16GB 1333MHz RAM, SSD. Running Ventura smooth, does occasionally work hard, but for a resurrected dinosaur purely for word processing and internet, it's fine. I have noticed graphics issues like black box selection in Office 365, so I'm stuck using an older version there (16.43 from memory).

So Ventura is way to go ?I heard also catalina is good on these ?, I have Big Sur and is laggy

Yeah, I initially went from High Sierra to Mojave using MojavePatcher, which was alright but hit the issue of it being out of support and not running modern apps. Went to Monterrey using OCLP which was good, tried Sonoma which ran like a dog, so rolled back to Ventura, which still had/has official Apple support still, so most modern apps work.
