My 2012 Mini i5 has a 256GB SSD and 16GB RAM. I thought I would try running Ventura on it when it first came out and I was surprised how functional it was. A few issues were typing on a website would eventually slow to a crawl, the monitor wouldn't sleep and video would glitch from time to time. Generally it was okay but I did notice a general sluggishness to the system even after rebooting.
But all that changed on 13.2.1. Suddenly the whole system seems snappier, typing doesn't lag and the monitor goes to sleep like it always did. I don't know what clicked but I'm happy running Ventura on this old Mini.

Are you using Opencore to facilitate using Ventura on the 2012 mini?
