Anyone else staying on Mojave and on the path to completely skipping Catalina?

Im having slow live sports problems and sputters on my macbook air using Mojave-safari just this month.
i realize that the macbook is over 10 years old, but i could stream sports better in December.
cache is cleared, updated the java and have strong internets.

Have you reset the network in settings?
 
Mojave is the end for me. In my 3,1 a brand new 4TB WD Black 7200rpm as d1s2, APFS Partition and I'm done and happy.
 
Todd asked:
"Has anyone found a way to still use Picasa after upgrading to Catalina?"

Not possible, and I don't think it's going to become "possible".
Picasa (which I use, too) is 32-bit software and won't run under Catalina (and later).
It might be possible to tweak it to do so, but google has discontinued it and it's no longer under development.

So... again... if one moves to Catalina or an m-series Mac, Picasa will have to be "left behind".
It's too bad -- Picasa was a very quick-n-easy tool by which to organize and do "light edits" on pics. One of my favorite apps, and one of the reasons I'm "staying behind" with Mojave as long as I possibly can...

I'm still on Mojave so I can use iTunes and my existing Drive Genius. I expect to finally upgrade later this year, so may end up skipping Big Sur too.
 
Webhead:

I suggest you investigate something called "Retroactive".
It will let you run iTunes (and other older apps) on Big Sur when the time comes...
 
Still running Mojave on my 2014 2.8ghz/8gb i5 Mini. It's just an iTunes server with home sharing for my large video and audio library and I want to stick with iTunes. Since it's just a server, I don't do e-mail, shopping or anything that would give me concerns about security. No plans to upgrade it.

BTW, I run Mountain Lion and Sierra virtual machines with Parallels on my 2018 Mini under Catalina for my 32-bit apps. This works perfectly and is actually much faster than my old apps ever ran on my old Macs. As long as your Mac is fast enough and has enough RAM, a virtual MacOS machine is a good way to continue using your old apps while keeping the host operating system up to date.

Got to say that the experience of Mojave is certainly more "Mac-like" than it is with Catalina. But one thing that grinds my gears are the system fonts. Why do I need 50 weights of Noto Sans showing individually in the font menus when I'm using my Adobe apps? I can't remove them.

In Font Book, you can right-click on a font and disable the font family. But, you might have to disable SIP to do that, because many of the basic foreign fonts are protected.
