Apple today released macOS Ventura 13.0.1, a minor update to the macOS Ventura operating system that was released in October. The new software comes two weeks after the official launch of Ventura.

The ‌macOS Ventura‌ update can be downloaded on eligible Macs using the Software Update section of System Settings.

macOS Ventura 13.0.1 is a bug fix update, and it addresses two security vulnerabilities that could allow for unexpected app termination or arbitrary code execution by a remote user. Neither was known to have been exploited in the wild.

Ventura … Maybe I‘ll update in late summer 2023. Apple should really follow the Linux distribution path and offer LTS versions. It is a pain in the a** to upgrade every year just for some stupid gimmicks.

What I need is a stable OS that runs my software - i do not need an OS that changes every month and adds some new features and bugs. When I take all the features of the last 5 years, the text recognition in photos is something I really like.
Did I forget something? All the rest is just bloatware, something people should install using the AppStore.

Data shows that Apple supports N-2, meaning you can still run Big Sur and expect security fixes.
 
Was a pretty quick update.

After update it took quite some time for wifi to start working again - so don't be alarmed if your browser tabs just sit there for a good few mins acting like you don't have internet.

Also my photo library is now doing this (and has for a handful of minutes so far):

And it just finished as I was typing this (<5 mins).
 
Also, you can scan for and download the full installer from the command line.

Trigger a scan with:
% sudo softwareupdate --background

Then list the available installers with:
% softwareupdate --list-full-installers

Download 13.0.1 with:
% softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 13.0.1

@Jordan Klein It annoys me how since Monterey, you have to attach the --full-installer-version argument, instead of how it was on Catalina/Big Sur where you could just go softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer and it would ALSO list the installers...

Also, I didn't know about the --background argument, it's nice!
 
Safari is same build with the tab but when you move tap out of the window it crashes

Not for nothing, but Linux doesn't run off of an Ubuntu release cycle, let alone the multiple distributions of Linux. RHEL and CentOS certainly don't, Debian doesn't, Slackware never has, and Arch and Mint definitely don't.

Heh. Then Linux isn't the path for you, especially when you look at what it truly is: the kernel. In a period of 27 days, there were 7 releases of the Linux kernel, and that was just October alone. Oh; and that is the STABLE release branch.

Trust me (I'm a now 30 year long Linux sysadmin), MacOS is a hell of a lot more stable than what you think or are making it out to be.

BL.

Malwarebytes now seems to have full access to the disk. Real time protection is now back on.
It wasn't fixed last week in the latest beta for 13.1. Are you saying that Apple managed to fix this issue in 13.0.1? This issue is keeping me from upgrading.
