If anyone can test out some Jetbrains products, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll set up a VM and try there.

I posted in the wiki post #1 about not having issues with Excel or Outlook. So far only apps not working for me are PopChar and TechTool Monitor.

So far only issue I've encountered is with TopNotch (hides the notch by making the menubar black). It launches but doesn't work when hitting the toggle to hide the notch.

Little Snitch 5.6 launches with a pop-up window claiming a new version is available via Update, but when I selected that option the application crashed.

CrossOver 22.1.1 launches successfully, but none of my Bottles (all of which are 32-bit Windows applications) are working. When opening each Bottle, their Status is displayed as "Scanning" but no Advanced Settings are listed. I first installed Rosetta 2 manually in macOS 14 via the Terminal command (softwareupdate --install-rosetta) before attempting to run the Intel application.

TIP: If you have connectivity issues after installing Sonoma, uninstall LittleSnitch. This did the trick for me. Now WiFi is working again.

Can someone check Parallels? Every fkin year Parallels breaks lol

Just launched Parallels - there was an update for both Parallels itself and the desktop tools, but it seems to be running normally at this time. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Affinity Publisher 2. While both Designer and Photo seem to be working fine, Publisher crashes shortly after launch.

I have also verified that both the Steam client and Battle.net launcher are working at this time.
