Unpopular opinion:
I haven’t had a bad update in the last 12 years. Yes, there were some bugs here and there, but nothing dramatic that wanted me to switch back.
The worst thing was Intel’s heartbleed issues that killed the CPU, it was around the 8th gen i7 if my memory is correct.

- kelsolaar 3y agoAgreed, if anything minor updates have been either transparent or visibly addressing issues. I have had some problems when updating from major macOs version to another though. Windows unfortunately has the tendency to break even with minor updates regularly. It is so much of an issue that we have a process at work to test those updates on a few machines and roll them widely to the remaining after.
