I'm loving Catalina I find it faster than Mojave on my MacBook 12" 8GB / 256GB.
Got a tip for us?

Hmmm...thanks, I may try that. Still a lot clunkier than the column browser. Unfortunately, we're stuck with Apple's relentless push to kill local content.
Well started the macOS update on my 2017 Macbook Pro, at this point the update has been running fo 3+ hours has restarted several times and has about 1/4” to go for the last hour With no mention of time left. Also no window with incompatible apps hen installing
Welp, you're one step ahead of me. Music app runs like a dog on my 2012 Mini, and now won't launch at all. Jesus h, Apple, get your sh*t together.
Anyone end up with a “Relocated Items” folder on their desktop? The contents are something that looks very “system”. Not sure why this happened.
macOS always runs slowly after an update, because Spotlight has to go through and re-index everything -- an 8GB update in this case, and if they've changed all of the directories where everything is kept it will have to deal with that too. It used to take up to a day back in the olden days.
Made a backup of everything and installed Catalina without any problems. Will take a little while to get used to it.
I don't see Pages or Numbers listed under the included apps section. Have they been removed?
And its the same with iOS 13. I don't know wtf is going on with apple right now. People didn't usually have to say "I'll wait to update"
Well I have downloaded 10.15 (2mins...1Gb/sec connection) but not yet brave enough to install 😶
this is happening not just with Apple, but Microsoft as well. We need to get back to a new OS every 3-5 years.
That functionality was moved over to finder. That’s where you can now find the backup and restore capabilities previously found in iTunes.
Pages and Numbers are not part of MacOS, they are separate Apps. You get them free when you buy a new Mac which is why you might think they are part of the OS, but they aren't. You can download them on the Mac App Store if needed.
That’s entirely Apple’s fault. Nobody ever worried about releasing new software every year until Apple started doing that. And Apple did it because they decided that the mobile device industry had to behave like the car industry, with new models every year. And new models mean new software. I hope they do get the message and switch to at least 2 years between updates.

they should be in the Books app. That change was made in iOS long ago, no surprise if the same is now being done on macOS.
From the PDF in the folder:
During the last macOS upgrade or file migration, some of your files couldn’t be moved to their new locations. This folder contains these files.
Files needing new locations
Some of your files had been in a location that is now incompatible with macOS security settings. These files were moved to the Security folder for your review.
If there are any files you want to keep, you can move them to a new location, as long as it is different from their location before the upgrade or migration.
Configuration files
These configuration files were modified or customized by you, by another user, or by an app. The modifications are incompatible with the recent macOS upgrade. The modified files are in the Configuration folder, organized in subfolders named for their original locations.
To restore any of the custom configurations, compare your modifications with the configuration changes made during the macOS upgrade and combine them when possible.
Mine transferred over to Apple Books, where they are now supposed to live, along with any audiobooks you may have purchased in iTunes
But but iTunes is bloated. We need simple toy like apps that you get in iPad. Yay. We got them. Why aren’t you happy? That iTunes was too hard to use? It gave me headache. It’s like iPad now! Yay.
