Yes, I can specifically say that 2 other people have chosen not to update past Mojave 10.14 because of my advice.
I'm experimenting with Linux these days. There are some minor annoyances with using an outdated version of macOS. Unfortunately those apply to not just one or two apps, but every part of the OS when using Linux. Basic things like WiFi drivers or sleep support. I'm encouraged by the trackpad driver project, but it's not there yet. So I'm still hanging on to my 2014 Retina MacBook Pro using 10.13, until some Linux distro catches up. I feel like that will happen soon though.
- ant6n 6y agoI should update to Mojave one of these days...
- peterburkimsher 6y agoNot if you want Time Machine; stay on HFS+ if you're a dev and want easier cross-platform support.
- samtheprogram 6y agoOne of my family members is using Time Machine and is on Catalina, which forces APFS -- is there something I should be worried about (outside of cross-platform support)?
- peterburkimsher 6y agoDirectory hard links are not available in APFS. Even though your internal drive is APFS, your Time Machine backup drive is probably still HFS+. https://eclecticlight.co/2020/05/26/how-to-make-time-machine-backups-to-an-apfs-disk/ https://eclecticlight.co/2020/05/26/how-to-make-time-machine...
