No, the only major issue I've had so far is after installation it restarted without a cursor. I had to force shut down, then when it came back all was well.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases First Public Beta of macOS Mojave to Public Beta Testers

Bladerunner2000 is not alone in this issue. I use the current system just fine. However, this is an issue for many. I am in education, this is by far the biggest issue that comes up with Macs at our locations. The Dock and the Menu bar disappear and then they are lost. This is especially an issue when the Dock and Menu stay hidden. (This happens far more often than it should.) Fortunately ESC twice will solve the issue.
For long time Mac users this is not an issue, however, having to manually resize windows ever time you open Preview or pages gets really old after a while. No one around here can figure out Apple's stance on this matter. It seems like Henry Ford with his black only autos.
My preference for what its worth:
- Double click on the title bar to autosize.
- Full Screen button like Mountain Lion.
- Green button, Maximize the Window (Full sized window with Dock and Menu visible).
Provides more functionality than either Linux or Windows.

You may not like his suggestions, fine. I'm ok with that. However, while his views may differ from yours, other may agree with him. In fact, based on my experience in education, his point of view is held by many other Mac users. Look at the popularity of all these window management programs on the Mac like Moom & Magnet.
It's sad when a person argues that among all of an operating system's many new features, the main one is whichever he finds least compelling.

Looking forward to Mojave! Not really interested in dark mode but if others like it, fine - no issues. However, I think I may find the other new enhancements useful.
Features I would like to see:
Free rotation of images in Preview and Quickview, not in increments of 90 degrees.
Option to change how Messages handles the return key. In iOS the return key moves to the next line. On the Mac it sends the message. Either make them the same or let the user choose.
Larger text option in Contacts. Don't need to increase the text size of the whole system, just Contacts.
Improve the handling of windows. There is a reason why Magnet and Moom along with other such apps are very popular.

If you believe that the Mojave is empty and lifeless, then I fear that probably says more about your own ignorance then it does about how Apple feels about the Mac.
The original poster was ranting, he was wrong on this point, so I said he was wrong.....what is wrong with that, or you have a problem with that....
When Apple listens to the customer desires:
Apple: Takes away ports and offers dongles!!!"
When Apple doesn't listen to customer desires:
Apple: Takes away ports and offers dongles!!!".
Translation... Apple doesn't care what desktop customers want.

That is surely not what you meant to write, Juli. Who is editing the editors?
Nice try but I'm not arguing anything. I am simply referring to the article's text.
If you paste a copied file with Cmd+Opt+V, it deletes it on the other end which is essentially what you are looking for...
whoops...
Can it instantly tell the size of a folder or it takes time too? Incidentally this was the feature of APFS and despite Apple's claim it doesn't work in High Sierra.
Their desktop computers still offer all the same ports, or in the case of iMac Pro even more ports than the 5K iMac. Only their notebooks have transitioned entirely to TB3.
But hey, lets just exaggerate things and perpetuate obnoxious memes that have turned Macrumors away from being an actually insightful and interesting place to discuss Macs with others in the community. Nah, lets just fill the place with poison and turn it into a toxic wasteland. Can we please move on with the damn dongle memes yet? On a notebook, having FOUR thunderbolt 3 ports is so incredibly powerful and versatile. Don't let the drawbacks blind you from the potential.
I guess its just more fun to be angry and perpetuate memes on this forum.
I don’t understand why there needs to be a choice between stability/performance and new features. It’s freaking Apple!! If they can’t deliver a fast and stable OS with great new features, who the heck can?? (Besides MS)
Fair enough. But that says more about MacRumors and the temptation of journalists working to a deadline to reduce complex pictures to a catchy hook than it says about Apple.
If you had watched the WWDC keynote address, as I did, you would know that Mojave offers many more new features than Dark Mode.
There is such a thing as convention and Apple should follow it. Apple should adjust, not its users.

Are you being serious?
I don't like cheese, you like cheese, oh my god, Supermarket can't get anything right.
There is a such a thing as differences between people and Apple tries to dictate more and more what I can and cannot do on MY devices.
How does Mojave behave when working with an external 4K monitor? After installing High Sierra a week ago, I noticed a mayor dropdown in graphics performance (switching between apps was annoyingly slow), so I downgraded back to Sierra where graphic performace is acceptable. I'm working on a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 with both integrated and dedicated GPU)
Oh, no, actually Darwin is free and open source. Go, take it, and rebuild the Mac OS the way you want it to suit your desires.
You are using a closed source OS. Of course that Apple is gonna dictate how it is gonna look and behave. Same the Microsoft does with Windows.
If you want to be free, pick some Linux distro and go with it.
