My 8 year old MacBook updated first time.
Not strictly true. My late-2008 MBP (upgraded to 8Gb RAM) happily runs Catalina. Just use dosdude1's patched OS. He hasn’t ported Big Sur yet but given its problems I’m not surprised!

Yes there are ways to cheat and get unsupported OS to run. But they are unsupported for a reason. I don't just mean "you need to buy the latest" I left this workaround out for clarity.
When Big sur gets refined then I will contemplate migrating over to it. As you said Andy there are still problems with it.
Merry Christmas to All
I have a 2015 MacBook Pro and wouldn’t go back to windows. However I won’t be changing to Big Sur as being 64 bit it won’t run my MS office and Adobe 32bit software I have paid for outright I refuse to start paying monthly subscriptions although I understand there are some freeware alternatives out there.
Not impressed with John Lewis as when the screen packed up just out of their extended warranty they didn’t want to know. Took it into Apple who repaired it and charged me about £400 but the “colleague” who I dealt with said they would have done it FOC under consumer rights legislation if I had bought it from them
