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 have one similar to that 😃 I have set up a dual boot with EndeavourOS to get security updates there
(Prepare partition in macOS by shrinking main and make a second FAT. You’ll change the file system to the correct one during installation of Linux. At reboot hold alt/option to choose which OS/USB-Stick to boot)
With the macOS, I want to try legacy patcher, but would have to kill my Linux in the process, so I did not try it yet…
I have a MacBook Pro Mid-2011 still going. But it does not get any updates since years(even security ones).
I just updated a few 2011 iMacs to Monterey using this: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

Thank you!

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