My general practice with macOS has been to wait about 10 months before upgrading to the latest OS. I upgraded to Catalina just a few months ago. I won't be going to BigSur until late summer next year.
- scrose 6y agoI normally follow that pattern too — but Catalina was unbearably slow in comparison to Big Sur for me. My new 16” MBP with maxed cpu and RAM regularly took nearly 2 minutes to boot to my Home Screen on Catalina with no startup apps. Regular apps took over a second. Upgrading to Big Sur made my laptop feel fast again. The only downside right now is that it feels like I’m always charging this thing. My 2014 MBP unfortunately still feels faster running on High Sierra though.
- xyst 6y agoI used to follow this same practice as well, however I am going on an indefinite holding pattern until Apple fixes the exceptions they grant their own applications so an application firewall can no longer filter their traffic. Still haven't seen any updates as to whether this problem has been resolved since it broke out in the beta days or in the days preceding the official release.
