I know people running 10.10 and I try to keep my Java code running on 10.10, so I would suggest that. However, my experience is that JDK 14 and later refuse to run on 10.10. The metadata is conflicting: The Info.plist has JVMMinimumSystemVersion 10.6.0 libjli.dylib has LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX 10.9 However, libjvm has LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX 10.13, and that is enough to prevent it from running.
