How do you find the performance for day to day use?
My MBA early 2017 (i5/8GB/256) is always nagging me to upgrade to Big Sur, but I did that once (via clean install) and it was terribly slow.
Within a few days I was clean installing 10.15 again, back to a fast snappy experience.
- djbusby 3y agoGot an older MBP in my house, older OS. Got a warning on that that we won't get newer Chrome. It's almost frozen in time. Netflix will stop working soon I've heard. As long as Jellyfin works we'll keep it.
- cat_plus_plus 3y agoTry Opencore Legacy Patcher or patchers for older but still supported OS versions from dosdude1?
- comprev 3y agoI use FF instead of Chrome, and macports for 95% of things which (to my knowledge) still install the latest version of software. Brew started compiling everything recently though so migrated most things to macports...
- cat_plus_plus 3y agoNo complaints, but I mostly use mine for web/video/e-mail/casual image editing. I do have an even older 17 inch Macbook Pro that I keep on Mojave (using another toolkit from dosdude1) to play old 32 bit Mac games. It's also not a given that post Big Sur versions would be even slower, Apple's optimization efforts can fluctuate release by release.
