Should I upgrade?

Hi all!

I have a 2012 Mac Mini with 16GB DDR3 and a 2.3ghz i7 processor.

I saved the life of this computer several months ago by using OpenCore to bring it up to Big Sur. Aka MacOS 11. Unfortunately, everything in the world is using MacOS 12 as the minimum supported system for every program ever. My computer is struggling with basic Homebrew packages because the OS is too old, like come on!

I've been under the impression that my machine is too old to handle MacOS 12 or 13. I'm not a computer genius, I'm an average dude. Do y'all think my specs can handle an upgrade?
