Catalina for M1 systems

There any way that can Install Catalina On my M1 systems ,

Since my filling is that BigSur is not that cooked enough, it work fast as blaze but this not all the picture.

I do need my previous installed software and my previous third party plug in which not that mach the current echo systems.

But I would not like to buy expire and old Mac Mini model,

Any though anyone


Best Regards ,

Catalina will not run on any M1 Mac at this time, period.

No workarounds, no hacks, or magic wands will make it work.

It would take some form of emulation software which

Parallels, VMware and Virtual Box do not support at this

time and may be some time if ever whether they will.


In terms of Big Sur, a majority of the apps that worked in

Catalina will work in Big Sur. Many, will run on the M1 via

the Rosetta 2 translation layer. To see if your apps will work
