which osx best for FG? need advise?

My Mac spec is Currently OSX Version 10.6.8
MacMini (Mid 2010 Model: Macmini 4,1)
2 .4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDA GenForce 320Momegle xender
Currently running Flight Gear Version 3.2 (=the highest compatible version for this OX S)

Am upgrading system to new one above version 10.6.8. Currently am running Flight Gear Version 3.2 (*=This is the highest compatible FG version that works with the OS X system currently running on my Mac mini.)
I've read here that some versions of FG do not run well, or at all, with certain Mac OS x system versions. Am afraid to install a new OS X that may not run FG. Thus

My question:
Need anyones advise Which Mac OS X would be the best system to choose for FG? Which would run FG the best?

newer M1 systems might have problems but the previous problems that occurred when apple updated the OSes are no longer a problem...

as for which FG to use, get the latest release available for your OS... at this time, that should be 2020.3(.8)...

"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
