Macos Monterey

[Dave2002]

Looks like I can now install macos Monterey on one of our machines. What does it offer that Catalina doesn't?

I didn't bother with Big Sur either. However some of the apps I use can't be updated to the latest versions because of compatibility issues, so I might have to actually "do" this one.

Saw that heading and I thought it was about a jazz performer I’d never heard of!

Yep, something like that. Meanwhile, I'm satisfied with Mojave.

As a participant in Apple's Beta Test programme, I'm now up to Monterey 12.2. So far - touch wood - I'd say it was more stable than its predecessor (was that Big Sur - I can't now remember - or maybe it was the MacOS before that) with which I had some compatibility and stability issues. I fear that I'm one of those irresponsible Mac users who simply upgrades without thinking (and certainly not obsessing) about the finer nuances of the particular version of the OS I happen to be using.

I haven’t hit the install button yet as I wonder whether some other software which I’ve not installed yet might actually be incompatible. Catalina did cause some problems in so far as it rendered some software unusable, but now I have the issue of balancing some packages which might benefit from their upgrades against a possibility of some other packages giving up the ghost.

I think I’ll install packages first before considering the OS “upgrade”
