Ventura and iPadOS 16 dropped (along with iOS 16.1), but not Xcode 14.1 (which is still RC). I don't recall them ever not releasing Xcode at the same time as an OS update.

#12I’m usually excited about macOS releases but this one is an underwhelming update and don’t see any reason to update any time soon. Stage manager seems like a half measure to introduce better window management in macOS and it doesn’t help that it doesn’t support a keyboard only workflow, from what I can tell from the demos. Coming from i3wm, I found Yabai to be an excellent keyboard-first window manager. I do wish som…
One big feature for me is much improved Virtualization framework. I'm eager for https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/384 to be closed. Must solve some QoL issues for me.

#13Very curious to know if Venture + VM + Linux + Steam is a setup that'll work with the new VM support.
I kind of want to play some old school windows games, but I don't want to pay for parallels.

I've played around with stage manager and it has left me scratching my head. It seems to have so much weird whitespace.

#15What's the best place to read technical details about new Mac releases? This has a bit, as do other sites like https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macos-13/ , but I wonder if there's something with a more exhaustive list -- something that reads like actual "patch notes".
The Ars Technica review is thorough, and acts as a good set of "release notes", but it's published upon release, and obviously doesn't cover the stuff that devs and users discover throughout the following year.
I recommend the excellent EclecticLight blog (by H. Oakley). He doesn't try to do a comprehensive overview (you have Ars for that), but has done many technical deep-dives covering changes that haven't been talked about anywhere else, and I can't praise him enough for that.
Michael Tsai also has a great blog (mjtsai.com/blog/) that functions as a news agregator for Apple stories and commentary, and though his blog's not dedicated to only macOS, you'll find regular stories on technical details there.

#16Countless person-years of engineering effort, and Spotlight is still mostly useless.
All I want is to hit Command-F to quickly search the filenames in the current folder (not start a sluggish scan of my entire hard disk). There used to be workarounds for this, but then they removed "Find by Name..." from Finder just to make our lives harder. Does anyone know a workable alternative?

#17My friend has some issues with using the `scp` command on Ventura to copy files to a Synology NAS.
It turns out the `scp` has been updated to use sftp protocol since OpenSSH 8.9 and Synology seems to use a different port for sftp, causing some hard to understand errors.

#18For IT/Security folks looking for a good rundown of what's new we put this together, talks about Passkeys, RSR, Gatekeeper improvements, and Lockdown mode. https://www.kolide.com/blog/the-security-and-it-admin-s-guid...
Passkeys is a bit of an odd one.
They’ve been listing it as a Ventura upgrade, and all the marketing (more or less) points to this as a Ventura-and-later feature, but it’s on Big Sur and Monterey too.

With Ventura there's Rosetta support in Linux VMs. This is something I'm a bit excited about.
