  >Why wasn't waiting a few months for stability patches an option? Because it's impossible to buy a new device with an old os?

    He didn't buy his entire infrastructure/ecosystem last week. He almost certainly accumulated a fair number of Apple devices and then had chosen to upgrade them all to Catalina/iOS 13 and then encountered problems. These problems could have been avoided by not immediately upgrading all devices the latest software release. Instead he could have opted to roll out upgrades devices by device thus limiting the scope of any problems.

  So the answer is to simply not trust Apple to release stable code? Surely the very existence of this answer, proves the point of the original question. Anything else is just victim blaming.

    >victim blaming Ah here, leave it out. All new software has new problems -- don't want the problems. Opt for tried and tested. Plenty of folk still happily purring along on older versions of macOS. There was a great article here the other day about a guy revising his approach to upgrading macOS every October instead choosing to evaluate the new features vs introducing change that can break things. Can't find it though atm.

      It used to be that a release was tried and tested. Now everyone's an unpaid QA tester months after the official beta period is over. And the folk wisdom of "wait until x.1" keeps getting pushed further and further back to the point of futility.
