Hi OCLP folks, I have a MacMini5,3, mid-2011 server, stock standard, non-metal Intel HD3000 graphics, 8GB RAM, no SSD. Running High Sierra.

Recently attempted to upgrade via OCLP to Sequoia, and while it installed - there were some issues that made it unusable. Even after installing the root patches etc.

My main issue is with my non-metal graphics. All the menus were laggy, and Apple Remote Desktop / Screen Sharing does not work (just get a black screen on client).

I'm OK with the spinning HDD speed issues (taking forever to boot and index etc). However, the lack of ARD is a show stopper for me.

Can anyone weigh in any experience on which would be the latest OS version for a non-metal machine of this vintage, which should run "OK"-ish, and most importantly, have functioning ARD/Screen Sharing support?

Any insight would be most appreciated.
