When will the new OS after Big Sur be ready for installation

the old Monterey is crap. when will the new OS that is replacing it be ready? I have a glitch in OS 11.6.7 that keeps on asking me to download software to connect IOS and Mac OS. Also, the software update no longer works as it is still looking for a software update.

Mac mini, macOS 11.6

FWIW, if you are experiencing issues with Big Sur, you may want to figure out why you're having issues BEFORE trying to upgrade to either Monterey or Ventura. (when it officially launches) judging by what I've seen in these pages, upgrading to any macOS on a Mac that is having issues with the current macOS amplifies issues, not fixes them.
