I tend to stay 1-2 years behind. But that hasn’t been an option on new hardware since at least the early OS X days, if not maybe Classic MacOS.

- droidist2 5y agoYeah, I recently updated to Catalina. I had to Google to find the download link, but it was still available from apple.com
- latexr 5y agoYou can download the full installers from the command-line: https://512pixels.net/2019/10/download-macos-installers-with-terminal/ https://512pixels.net/2019/10/download-macos-installers-with... Wikipedia shows the exact version number of the latest releases for each.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoYup. I upgraded from High Sierra around the time Big Sur rolled out. To be honest, I’m probably not going to upgrade again at all until the new MBPs seem stable enough for me to buy. Nothing in Big Sur or Monterey seems compelling enough, apart from M1 support and access to iOS apps, for me to risk the disruption.
- yumraj 5y agoMy primary is still in Mojave and I’ve been perfectly happy with it. Now, if I were to update my hardware that won’t be an option.
- jrochkind1 5y agoStill an option. I updated to 10.15 "Catalina" (released June 2019) about a year ago, and am still on it. I will probably soon-ish update to MacOS 11 "Big Sur" (released November 2020), but not yet the just-released MacOS 12 "Monterey".
- eyelidlessness 5y ago> Still an option. I updated to 10.15 "Catalina" (released June 2019) about a year ago, and am still on it. On new hardware released with Big Sur? To be clear, what I was saying is not an option is “downgrading” new hardware to an older major version than the one it was released with.
- jrochkind1 5y agooh ok, I misunderstood!
