I’ve been on the release candidates and the OS is very stable and I haven’t found any major breakages or random crashes . Also, homebrew has been working great and lots of other open source software S

Same for me, mostly. I had bumped into problems with apps I use:

* Little Snitch needs a nightly build (status: fixed)

* SoundSource doesn't work (status: fixed)

* SpamSieve v2 doesn't work because Mail.app removed plugin support in favor of extensions. (status: SpamSieve v3 is out now and works)

* Marked 2 broke on docs shorter than 999 visible bytes (status: still broken. Workaround: BBEdit text filter to add a bunch of lorem ipsum)

* Bartender 4 doesn't work. (status: Bartender 5 is out and works)

The OS itself and 1st-party apps have been mostly fine from the first beta.

Update: simscitizen has confirmed below that 1Password 7 still works in Sonoma.

This will be the first macOS upgrade I won’t be doing for a while.

I’d like to try it out, but I need to figure out how to migrate off of 1Password 7 (standalone) first or to make sure it still works with Sonoma. (Edit: I'm expecting that 1Password 7 will break with the new OS and make me convert to their subscription product.)

FINALLY we've come full circle and can have widgets on the desktop again!

It's not like a revolutionary killer feature for me, but I just always preferred having information always in my "peripheral" instead of having to actively check a separate menu.

Does this not work well with 1Password?

You realize OS innovation has ground to a halt when the first feature advertised in a new version is screen savers

This is not the first macOS release (well, maybe the first one where they called it "macOS") where the headline feature involved screens and widgets.

Why does this upgrade require migrating off 1Password?
