You do not say what exact mac you have or what macOS you are currently running—


non the less here is the list— check you specs to see what is the latest macOS you can run.



Typically you are always better off running the most current macOS your machine will allow—especially for the built in security features.



Old app compatibility maybe one reason to hold back— you have to do your own homework here: https://roaringapps.com/apps
