Catalina is a dumpster fire compared to Mojave.
Waking up a Macbook Pro with two USB-C monitors plugged in, only one monitor comes on. I have to fiddle around by opening the laptop's lid or pressing Ctrl-Shift-Eject and waking it up again from scratch for all the monitors to respond.
Leave Catalina running too long, its Watchdog process times out and it has a kernel panic. During the night every two or three days. After booting and reporting to Apple (again), it's time to rearrange all the windows and reopen all the documents I was working on, again.
Inadequate is the polite way of describing it.
- coldtea 6y agoI don't have two monitors (I do use one external + the laptop's own), so didn't have the issue either, but the "running too long" problem has not been my experience. I have uptimes in the months (only rebooting for the ocassional update). But if "dual monitors have issues" is the biggest issue that comes up when someone is asked to describe their problems with an OS, I wouldn't exactly call it a "dumpster fire". More like "smooth sailing". Doubly so if it's not experienced for everybody hooking two monitors but just for e.g. that specific brand or laptop run / monitor combination.
