If you own an apple computer that has just dropped support, try the open core legcy patcher (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/) after doing a backup(always!). I just upgraded my dear MacBook Air 11 from 2014 to Monterey and it just runs ... so 3 more years of patches for this machine :-D.

What app do you use to get a normal alt+tab on mac?
It's literally called AltTab
Thanks!
I'm using Hammerspoon to implement manual tiling and pretend to have old Spaces (spaces arranged in a grid with instant transitions), but it's not my favorite thing ever.

I suppose that works because old MacBooks didn't have signed bootloaders?

#534Monterey seems to have fixed audio stutter I was constantly experiencing on Bluetooth headphones (AKG Y500). On BigSur every time the headphones reconnected I had to reset the Bluetooth module - btw, the reset option seems to be missing in Monterey.
So that's a big improvement in my book.

Use Manjaro then. It's a polished and reasonably tested Arch (roughly saying kind of like what Ubuntu is to Debian). Never had a single problem with it.
Ubuntu… polished? Ha!
There always is a huge room for subjectivity, edge cases and other critique in this. But generally saying I'd say yes. My experience mostly is about desktop/laptop (non-gaming, on-board video only) though.

#536Private replay in macOS Monterey is not compatible with content restrictions in screen time. If you use screen time to block some websites, private relay won’t work.
Has Anyone found a solution yet?

Here's an example of a file that won't load properly in Preview and requires Acrobat: https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/englis...
You can use Firefox to fill that in.
Which version? For me 90.0 shows the "Please wait" message which some JavaScript or something is supposed to replace, and 93.0 force downloads it, even when I try to open it from a local file.

From my perspective, it means it has been deemed ready for fresh installs — which aren’t uncommon. They have, especially with Apple, fewer configurations to test. But the probability that they got a good enough sample for system upgrade is very small. Systems that have been in use— especially for a few years — tend to diverge widely. The users who upgrade should wait unless they are willing to risk the small but not…
> From my perspective, it means it has been deemed ready for fresh installs I don't think you'll find many "normal" people (i.e. non-developers) that agree with you on that definition.
Indeed. And those people used to come to me for help when they upgraded their windows prematurely.

That’s not entirely true. Some government forms where I live are shared in a PDF format but are only downloaded and displayed properly when they are opened in Acrobat, and otherwise display a page telling you to download acrobat. I suspect this allows the form to be updated, and see why it might be done, but I still find it very annoying.
I've never seen this before, and I've been using the Preview method described above for 15+ years. I have also never installed an Adobe product on a mac, ever. Do you have a link to a file that can produce this error in Mac Preview? It would be fun to learn how to bypass that.
My employer uses a training and document system (third party) that requires the use of Acrobat to view PDFs. I never have to fill out forms within the PDFs; I simply can't open the files via Preview (or Firefox). Apparently the provider inserts JavaScript into the published documents (which, I assume, track document usage, since it is a training system).
Also, I can't post a link to the document, since it contains proprietary training materials.
