iATKOS | United Kingdom

I successfully got Big Sur running on my 2011 Mac Mini (16gb RAM, temporarily using a 500GB HDD, upgrading to SSD soon), but the text looks like hot garbage. It’s not an OCLP issue from what I’ve read, as many apple forum users had complained about it, with a handful of fixes that didn’t entirely fix it for me.

My display is a Qled 43” tv, which meant it was a coin flip as to whether my monitor would be one of the ones it looks bad on. However, it means I’m having to properly think about changing to a different OS. I got a migraine after tinkering for a while, and I’m not completely sure if it was triggered by the crap text (I have a visual processing disorder) or some other medical stuff I have going on.

Which one would people recommend? I don’t want to fry my unit and I’m happy to step down an OS, but wanted to see what other people thought about which one would be a better fit.
