Generally I’ve noticed more bugs on High Sierra than on previous OSX releases. Things ranging from UI glitches to freezing safari to random slowdowns - all across multiple different machines.
Coupled with the security issues it’s clear that whoever is responsible for Q&A these days is asleep at the wheel.
It’s the reliability of the hardware and software that brought me to Apple back in the days of the G4.
Ironic that I may have to switch back to Windows since my work machine seems less buggier than my Mac!
- dingo_bat 9y agoWin 10 has its fair share of bugs, tbf. In fact win 10 feels like a Google product that never leaves beta. There will always be glitches and weird stuff. Some things have become very good over several iterations. But there are a ton of new stuff they keep adding and all of those are half baked until the next big release.
- TazeTSchnitzel 9y agoThe worst thing about Windows 10 is there’s a mandatory, automatic OS upgrade every few months, which Microsoft pretend is simply an update. This can and will break things every single time.
- dingo_bat 9y agoThat's actually something I like. It makes most users' PCs much more secure. Also if absolutely required, OS upgrades can be deferred by up to a year.

- bfred_it 9y agoIncredibly my El Capitan -> High Sierra update went smoothly and fixed the abhorrent wifi problems I had had forever—however that was the only reason I wanted to upgrade. macOS has not been evolving for a while. I miss the Leopard days. iOS 11 on the other hand was more of a downgrade to beta on my 7 Plus.
- mclehman 9y agoWhat WiFi problems would those be? I'm sitting on Sierra for now, but my laptop has been refusing to connect to a network automatically 95% of the time on wake. Now I'm wondering if it's worth braving High Sierra for a fix to it.
- bartvk 9y agoDoes it make a difference which brand of access point you're trying to connect to?
- bfred_it 9y agoThe connection would stay open but after a few minutes the ping would fail. I had even setup a wifi reset script to get back to working 20 times a day. It did it only on some routers, even if I connected to them through my old AirPort Express.
- ascom 9y agoI recently upgraded to High Sierra on my MacBook, and I had random reboot problems: https://discussions.apple.com/message/32649321 https://discussions.apple.com/message/32649321 Downgrading to Sierra fixed it... I still don't know what was causing the reboots.
