Hello,
I have High Sierra on my Macbook Pro Mid 2010 and I am thinking of using; macOS Catalina Patcher to upgrade it. I saw a lot of people doing it successfully.
I wonder if it is a safe and stable patch? What "downside"?
Thank you everyone.
Maybe you could post a link.

Define “safe” and “stable”. The “downside” is that parts of Catalina will not work properly. I don’t know the details of the patch, but the fact that it exists means that some features aren’t going to work. I don’t know what those features are or whether they would be show stoppers or not. There is also no guarantee that the machine won’t stop working entirely one day.
Why do you want to upgrade anyway? The only reason to upgrade would be to get new features. But you already know that some of those new features won’t work properly. It seems you stand a good risk of losing more than you gain.
