The Apple USB keyboard on my old Mojave iMac works fine but doesn't work when I plug it into the iMac running Catalina.
I submitted the bug yesterday.

Re: Why iOS 13 and Catalina Are So Buggy
#42I made a mistake of installing Catalina. Since the day the system is acting up weird. Apart from rejecting 32-bits apps, Catalina is also having memory kind of issues. After working for a few hours things start getting weird, chrome's extensions start crashing, if I try to open a new tab it does not let me load the page. I also start getting messages "X Application can not be opened" where X is ANY application I wish to open. The issue got a bit better after a recent 1 GB update but the main problem persists. I am seriously considering to downgrade to Mojave.

Every .0 release for iOS and OSX has been buggy. Every single one. I've run and tested every release going back to 2001 and it's been a while since a macOS release has been this buggy and caused serious data loss in some cases. So even for .0 release, this has been pretty bad.
May I be Goldilocks? I’ve used basically every iOS beta. Beta 1 is always AWFUL. Then it gets better and better. iOS 13 is probably the worst, but only incrementally so. It’s hardly worth having a fuss.
It's not a beta, it's what they encourage their users to upgrade to

#44I'm still on High Sierra on my 2015 Macbook Pro. I haven't upgraded my OS nor my machine and pretty happy with it (I only accept updates within my OS version itself) . On my home machine, I do use Mojave, which by itself is quite buggy and I'm waiting for some more fixes before I upgrade my Macbook Pro to Mojave as well.
I never install Apple's newer OS'es because I have a lot of development related stuff setup on my machines and wouldn't want them to break post an update. But so far, this lag in my update schedule has served me really well for years now and looks like this won't be changing anytime soon for me, either.

#45After doing some iOS/Mac development, I'd say some bugginiess is caused by changing APIs and behaviors inflicted by Apple, expected to be absorbed/dealt with by developers. They mercilessly do this with every release and no doubt that affects their internal projects. Also, xcode has gone the way of iTunes and ObjC was always a huge pain. It's a really hostile environment to develop in, where you're having to play cat…
Wow. My experience is opposite. Been in iOS development for over 10 years already, little less for Android.
App made for iOS still works with very minor adjustments, while on Android it’s a mess. We was forced to change build system several times, breaking changes and just silly API renames, service depreciations, generations of push services, forcing firebase and AndroidX, change of permission model, of concurrency model.
Honestly, I can’t even name single such change for iOS. At worse it is adding interface implementation.
About objective c and Xcode. Just lol. I love being able to debug by pressing single button and putting breakpoint. Android studio, being abominably ugly and slow, and killing battery like in 1 hour, still struggles to do that for native code.
Also, what is wrong with Objective C?

I know. I’m talking about iOS 13 beta 1.
If you think this is what a bad OS looks like, you should try that.

#47This article explains why something is buggy. Maybe why Apple's software is buggy.
It does not explain why the latest stuff is so buggy.
Is Catalina that much more complex than, say, Mavericks? Are managers playing deadline chicken more?
I don't see evidence for this.
Re: Why iOS 13 and Catalina Are So Buggy
#48I refuse to install iOS 13.0 because it's so buggy, and refuse to install Catalina because all it does is take away features rather than adding value. They can't seem to stop to fix what's already broken, so they add a few things, break a few more and remove some I use and say "the emperor's new clothes are awesome."

#49I have a theory that this year tons of stuff was rewritten in Swift, because with the lockdown of the ABI it's now possible to write libraries in Swift. This might be why this year is a bumper crop of bugs.

Very little has been rewritten in Swift.
