> I solve this particular problem by only ever updating my os long after the problems have been ironed out. Apple are notorius for beta testing on users and frankly I think it's crazy to update your main machine this early in the cycle.
Exactly. Mac has become windows in this sense. Updates aren’t safe and users must stay a few versions behind.

- addicted 6y agoWith OSX you always updated your OS with 10.x.1 if you wanted it to work regularly. But in the pre iOSification days a new 10.x version would come out every few years, so the 10.x.1 version would come out a few months later with major bugs ironed out. You waited a few months, and then safely enjoyed 10.x.x updates for another 2-3 years. With the annual release, your 10.x version comes out every year, the 10.x.1 version a few months later but it’s hardly as well tested, and you’re probably better off waiting for 10.x.2 and then by the time that’s done, Apple is already preparing you for 10.x+1.
