Blindly updating a work machine to a brand-new release isn’t a good idea regardless of the OS.
In High Sierra’s case, it took until the .2 release before we were fine with it.
Keep in mind that IT departments (including myself here) like to have important things to say about software updates, especially when it’s about the OS that requires a lot less IT work. :)
- radicaldreamer 9y agoExactly, iOS and Mac developers excepted, very little productivity gain comes from updating to the latest version of the OS right away before all the compatibility kinks have been worked out. A lot of people have a (completely understandable) weakness for the latest and greatest though.
- e12e 9y agoI dunno. It's been years since I worried about updating a workstation to the latest Debian stable. Or server for that matter. So it's certainly not a question of resources. [ed: not that Debian hasn't had issues. Broken openssl/ssh key generation being perhaps one of the worst security issues in recent memory]
