Installed fine on my 2018 15" MacBook Pro. Still a good machine that I use as my main machine. Took about 20 minutes I guess, didn't time it but was ready quicker than I expected. None of the changes are life changing but oh well, isn't often a desktop OS really surprises me with something new these days. Hopefully it is as stable as Monterey was for me which didn't have a single crash in the whole year. Stage Manager is interesting but a very minimal effort by Apple. They really need to work on better overall window management in macOS. Snapping and tighter keyboard management for moving and resizing windows is badly needed. Either that or they need to relax their accessibility restrictions for apps so that we can get some good third-party options without needing to disable SIP. Overall it seems to be mostly quality of life improvements, a few related to their primary services (such as Photo Library sharing) which will obviously be handy for up-selling iCloud/Apple One paid upgrades. I am interested to see the new virtualisation framework stuff. Wondering if things like Distrobox (podman) can make use of it.

I’ve been using Rectangle for window management. Works well for my workflow since I’ll usually just pin two apps side by side, and jump them around different screens. It would be nice to have this feature natively though. https://rectangleapp.com/ https://rectangleapp.com/

  Yeah I have been using Magnet since longer than I can remember. It is limited though. It's fine for basic snapping side by side or in quads but can't do multi-resizing (i.e. resizing two windows snapped side by side that are not fullscreen), doesn't have layouts, can't place a window when it is opened (e.g. auto snap terminal to bottom left if first Terminal window opened), etc. I would love to see a full manual or dynamic tiling window manager for macOS that didn't require disabling SIP like yabai does and wasn't super janky.

    You can use most of yabai without disabling SIP, and as a regular user the most jank in yabai IMO is some reflow that happens whenever your display config changes, which I think is largely forgivable.
