No. My MacBook Pro is a 2012 pre retina with a decent Samsung evo SSD and 16GB RAM. It has a OCLP’d Monterey install and it is smooth and functional.I dev on this machine and honestly, same hardware runs MacOS better than Windows 10 (212H iirc) in Bootcamp. This is VS Mac building Mac Catalyst, Android and iOS apps. Building my pet PSP tool chain for .Net and Retro68 GCC port for BeOS PowerPC. Nothing trivial.
