You know what would make bugs even less prevalent? rolling releases.
The fact that people think that slowing down release cadence would make MacOS somehow more stable seems to be missing the core fact that "changing 100 things at once" _is the problem_!
They give this stuff out for free, and I know there's marketing associated to OS releases, but stuff would be a lot more stable if they just shipped stuff over the year instead of deciding to break everyone's computer consistently once a year.
Have people on a rolling-release beta track or something, at least.
- janfoeh 5y agoI vehemently disagree that rolling releases are a good idea. I've found myself disabling auto updates on quite a few applications as of late, because I am tired of constant interruptions to my workflow, breakages and UI changes. Being able to at least concentrate those inevitable annoyances and interruptions into one point in time is a good thing for me. The alternative has turned out to be death by a thousand papercuts.
