Later 2014 Mac Mini with 4GB memory - what OS can I upgrade to?

[Panicman]

Hello!

I'm running Mojave and wasn't planning on any new OS upgrades to not brick my Mini, but apps I need are not working and support seems to have been pulled for Mojave.

What OS systems could I install on Mac Mini (Late 2014), processor 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory 4 GB 1600 MHZ DDR3, Graphics Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB

I watch Youtube videos, browse news, write on Libre Office and collect cat pics. And use internet banking and occasional net order.

With this usage, can I install Big Sur or Monterey or should I just try with Catalina?

Monterey

Just what BeatCrazy said, Monterey. I use it on my Mini 2014, which is a bit better in specs than yours, but I'm still cautious with what apps I run.

Agree to go with Monterey. Don't even consider Catalina as that was a hot mess in stability, at least for me on a 2017 iMac
