Catalina to Monterey upgrade

Does Catalina need to be upgraded to Big Sur before upgrading to Monterey or can I upgrade directly to Monterey from Catalina?

Mac Pro, macOS 12.6

technically, NO. but some people have had issues trying to upgrade to monterey from any macOS prior to big sur. if it was me, i would try upgrading from catalina to big sur first and then on to monterey.

the download for big sur can be found here:
