If Catalina is hitting you hard, why don't you install Linux on top your Apple devices? Pick a very stable distribution (e.g. Ubuntu targets also Mac Hardware)

Pick a very stable distribution (e.g. Ubuntu targets also Mac Hardware) and never look back again. Next time you need new hardware, just don't buy any overpriced Apple hardware again for your needs. Keep the dependency on Apple as low as possible (e.g. only if you develop for iOS)
- hu3 7y agoI think OP covered that in: > The problem is, we've invested so much in Apple technologies, workflows, the ecosystem, that I don't know if we should just wait it out and keep our fingers crossed, or make a dedicated effort to become less reliant on any single tech provider. And I agree with you, gradually move to open technologies like Linux would be my choice as well.
