Latest version of macOS a Mac Mini 3,1 will install officially is 10.11.x:


Currently, the latest version of macOS it will run using third-party patches is Catalina 10.15.x:


I don't know if there'll be a patch for Big Sur but even running Catalina on something that old might be disappointing.

Even running El Capitan with the original 5400RPM hard drive wouldn't be great, I'd think.
