Internet browsing is very, very laggy.

I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina mid-2012 with Ventura 13.5 installed via OCLP 0.6.8.

Especially being videos, overall internet browsing experience is pretty slow and borderline-unusable since the day I installed Ventura with OCLP. It wasn't that good on the officially supported Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina either, but it was certainly a bit better.

According to my knowledge, every patch is automatically loaded for my exact model (MacBookPro10.1) on OCLP while setting it up. I'm pretty inexperienced on Macs to be honest. I installed Ventura mainly for the modern app support and actually, most of the things work fine. It's just the internet browsing and a few selection of apps that runs pretty laggy. I'm mainly curious about if it's a thing about the OCLP Ventura installation and if it's a known problem, or is it just that my MacBook is behaving perfectly normal by lagging even on 1080p 30 FPS YouTube videos?

People on r/MacOS have differentiated opinions. Some say that my MacBook doesn't support Metal (even though it says so in the detailed system report), and that I'm running everything on software API and that is the reason why some of the things are running pretty slow; some other say that Ventura, Monterey and all the macOSs that came out after the Apple silicons have major driver problems for the older Intel Macs.

If it's a known problem about the Ventura installation on the MBP10.1, I wonder if there's a workaround. If anybody here has the same setup as me and found a workaround this, I'd be happy to hear from them. If not, is there a better optimized macOS version for my exact model of MacBook that also has modern app support or should I just go back to Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina?
