32bit app support for Mac Mini (formerly 2020) now listed as 2018. I found out if I have the M1 chip I can run 32bit

My Mac mini is 6 months old but now apple has the M1 chip so I'm screwed using Big Sur running my 32bit apps. Does anyone know if apple will offer support for running 32bit apps on my new but now old Mac Mini i5??? Should I just install Mojave?

Mac mini, macOS 11.0

Installing Mojave on an M1 based or an Intel based Mac?


On an Intel based Mac, that will work for 32-bit Intel Apps.


You cannot run Mojave, directly, on an M1 based Mac.


(I doubt if Apple’s Rosetta 2 was designed for running a full Operating System [OS], such as Mojave.)
