  On the other hand, not all new security vulnerabilities are backported either. Do you think that new major OS versions introduce only fixes and not bugs? I think version N-1 is a good balance between getting the fixes and avoiding the new bugs.

    If you can deal with known vulnerabilities and cross-reference all of Apple's CVE notes, more power to you. I can't say I have that much free time (Liquid Glass sucks, though).

      > cross-reference all of Apple's CVE notes I never suggested that. But Apple itself prioritizes patches by severity when deciding what to backport. Some issues are so severe that Apple occasionally releases a new security update for previous OS versions that no longer receive security updates otherwise. A lot of issues are merely privilege escalation, which is not necessarily a big problem on a personal computer.
