Catalina or Big Sur for MacBook Air 2017? Advise needed.

MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017)​

1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
128GB SSD
8GB RAM

My stock MBA2017 is still on macOS Catalina and as we all know Monterey will be the last macOS that will work on it. So would love to see feedbacks from forummers here whether it's better to upgrade or i should just stick with Catalina. Or maybe Big Sur is better than both? Thanks!

Monterey has been working nicely for me and will have security updates for two years longer. Performance is equal if not better.

As long as you don’t have 32 bit apps, Monterey is solid as a rock.
