Tell HN: Consider waiting before upgrading to macOS Sonoma

I upgraded to it yesterday and noticed several bugs, two of which are quite annoying:

    1. The Touch ID feature is not functioning perfectly. It fails to detect fingerprints after only two unsuccessful attempts, whereas it used to allow around 5 fingerprint retries before requesting a password.

    2. Today, when I locked my computer and tried to log in to my main account, it displayed the profile picture of the standard account and the name 'main account.' I only realized this after restarting macOS.

    Occasionally, when launching new apps, the screen experiences a brief glitch.

It appears that there may not have been enough testing done on Sonoma.

> they've only tested things internally

Nit: There is a public beta channel with external testers.

But otherwise I agree. Waiting for the first minor version after a major release is rarely a bad idea (assuming any security patches are backported to earlier major releases).

I've learned over the years to wait a week or two before installing new macOS and iOS releases, generally until the first or second point release. It's surprising to need to do it, given that they have their big public beta programs, but I know it's saved me from some frustration.

I updated my personal M2 MBP and it seems fine so far.

I usually wait a point release or two before updating my work MBP.

Bugs in macOS? No way.

Control Center and Stage Manager have been messes for years at this point, beside many other small but obvious annoyances.
