MacBook Pro late 2012 retina file vault on
Psst... hey you! Yeah you Patched Sur user! Come here, I got something that I want you to help with. I’m working on a new section to Patched Sur that shows the compatibility of Macs and Big Sur, but something like that needs data, that’s why I made a GitHub repo for this data. Just follow the instructions here and know you just helped someone know that Patched Sur is safe (or not depending on their model....) and that they can upgrade.

How stable is Big Sur on a Mac mini 2012? Could I use it as my daily driver?
(I am working on the Mac Compatibility screen for Patched Sur, and of course that needs data, so I’m talking around to get some information. If somebody else has another Mac they would like me to include, check here to learn how to help out.)

Almost there - got issue installing kexts (iMac late 2O13, 11.1)
I changed a lot with how I have it formatted, so check here for those details. I will probably try to detect a fusion drive / HDD in the app and call out the user that way.

2010 Unibody MacBook Firmware Question
I might have pushed my 2010 MacBook a bit too far. Back in 2020 I installed DosDude1's Catalina patcher on my 2010 Unibody MacBook and it worked great! Then, I learned of [this](https://github.com/barrykn/big-sur-micropatcher) new patcher tool that would enable my 2010 MacBook to run Big Sur, albeit slowly. Ever since then I've noticed some odd quirks about my machine. To clarify, it is still working, just not 100%.

Hey guys , I was wondering if it was still worth trying to update my mid 2012 macbook air to big sur with the patcher. I had planned on doing it but procrastinated and now it’s gone.
Also you could check out the micropatcher , I used it before switching to patched Sur and it worked for me.

MacBook Pro 9,2 prohibitory symbol.
Thanks for getting back to me. I created the usb using themicropatcher via another Mac as I previously used the usb to create the patch for Monterey. Should I try recreating the usb with patches Sur?
