We (the KiCad project) do not provide MacOS builds for older MacOS systems. Usually we will maintain compatibility for the current and previous MacOS versions. Sometimes, this may extend to the previous two MacOS versions but maintaining support for older MacOS is extremely difficult and would be

Complementing: using KiCAD 6 on Catalina and antialiasing settings to NO or HIGH Quality makes KiCAD perfect. No delay or slowness during resizing of windows or drawings SCH or PCB. Fast operation for designing SCH or PCB. Adjusting antialiasing for level FAST causes delays redrawing the windo

Mark, thanks for your answer. Is it possible to compile KiCAD allowing version 7 to use Catalina instead of BigSur as the minimum OS? Version 6 I can run in Catalina and works. I just finished testing KiCAD version 7 under Windows 10 (under Virtual Box 6.142). It works without using OpenGL and f
