Ask HN: Is it safe to update to macOS Catalina (10.15.3)?

9 pointsby icodemuchover 5 years ago
When Catalina first came out, HN was flooded with articles about how bad it was. Now, a few weeks later, is it safe to update my mac? I've backed up everything, but would still hate to have my personal laptop performing on a subpar level when I need it for photoshop, iterm2, xcode, firefox, etc.

We just got bite by a bug were Catalina would randomly delete some Wireguard tunnels. A temporary workaround to restore them has been published in the Wireguard client but Catalina doesn't feel stable at the moment.

It depends on what all you use, at least GPGTools Mail plugin and MacOS FUSE (At least SSHFS) still don't support Catalina.

i am running the Catalina 10.15.1 both on a Macbook pro retina 13 inch early 2015 and an iMac Retina 4K 21.5 inch 2017. For java&#x2F;kotlin&#x2F;angular&#x2F;node&#x2F;typescript&#x2F;flutter development and system admin tasks.<p>Both run <i>a lot</i> better than Mojave ever did.

Avoid it if you use Mail.app. Otherwise doesn’t seem too bad. Performance isn’t an issue.

10.15.2 is not even released yet, never mind 10.15.3

Curious if anyone is running it on a mid 2013 air?

my recommendation is to wait until it will become stable, if you dont need any particular new behave.
