Re: Tell HN: Consider waiting before upgrading to macOS Sonoma
#12I’m skeptical of upgrading OS. Recently I upgraded my M1 16GB to Ventura from Monterey after waiting for almost a year, and I’m noticing a perceptible slowdown and increased RAM usage.

#13Seems like good advice overall, but I experience none of those 3 issues to describe on my Sonoma Macs (n=2 Apple Silicon Macs).

#14Am I the only one who either: - waits ~6 months (from release time) before upgrading to a major macOS version - usually skips 1 version in between (e.g., I'm on macOS Monterrey, haven't updgraded to Ventura. I'll upgrade to Sonoma in a few months)
I sometimes go years and years between upgrading (:
There are rarely any new features that I really need. So by the time I upgrade, most bugs are usually sorted out.

I do this.
And not just for OS updates.
For example, I have noticed that if a new model (or generation of and existing model) of a car comes out, it's better to wait for a year or two for them to iron out the issues.
(No I don't purchase cars frequently; just an enthusiastic who keeps track of the industry).
