<div class="">The newest your hardware can handle, unless you have
apps that require 32-bit support (for which Mojave is the last
OS version that has it) or that for some other reason will break
in a newer OS. Don't be more than two or three behind (I think
it's really years, somewhere in the 3 to 5 range) if you want at
least security updates. (don't expect much other updates for OS
versions near the old end of what still gets security updates)</div>

<div class="">Exception: if you want less problems with MacPorts
and don't want to be part of solving problems much, wait a few
months on Sequoia; don't go later than Sonoma yet. The first few
months of any new OS major version can have more pain for apps
and software from anywhere, esp. open source software with lots
of dependencies and mostly or totally unpaid volunteer support.</div>

plenty of unknowns) whether listed apps will work on a given OS
version. There may be other such sites, but that's the one I
know about.</div>
