nope an upgrade from older OS. Might give that a go. It's been like this for around a couple weeks now. I had some free time now and I thought maybe I can fix it but unsure where to start!
By new install, I know you're recommending that he start from scratch and set up the machine again. There won't be any need to reinstall the operating system, as every system installation is same as every other–bit for bit. If anything is wrong here, it has to be in the user volume.
that's hysterical. one post on one forum, and that's what will determine if you upgrade? hmmmm
I know you know. I wanted to put it out there for everyone else. I did read the question mark, though, as you were suggesting.
then you must realize how most people are having good experiences on sonoma (altho, of course, there are bugs; there are always bugs)...
Same here; considering "upgrading" but the move to Big Sur left a massive stain with all the grief that caused.
that always makes me laugh; there's no magic moment, ie 'the point-3 release' where it all comes together. OS development is never a straight line forward, it rises, dips. bugs are squashed, new ones appear. my humble observation: an OS is always a work-in-progress. so we dive in when we're ready, and life moves forward...
While there is no exact release version that guarantees stable performance, I have learnt it (the hard way) that the best time to update your Apple devices (not only Mac, but iOS as well) is in spring. So for me, the update cycle is delayed by about 5-6 months. So far, this approach has been much better since a few years, compared to upgrading in the early release stage and then suffering the bugs and battery issues (particularly in iOS).
if that works for you, more power to you. our anecdotal experiences matter (at least, to us)
