I’ll wait a full 12 months for the poor beleaguered public to finish beta testing this, thanks.
Got a tip for us?

My biggest gripe is the rename from 'System Preferences' to 'System Settings'. Was that really necessary?
And carrying the change through to applications is confusing my decades of selecting app 'Preferences...'
Having to find 'Settings...' in Apple Apps, but third party apps still being 'Preferences...'

hmmmm, is that HDR? oh, sure is. It is easy to find on some external monitors, but not on Samsung for some reason perhaps other than Samsung sucks. I had to go into a couple of menus to turn on HDR (yah, not one, but multiple menu items, important one seems to be the auto HDR under General, external device manager). someone please teach Samsung how to design a UI, please, please
But this is old as hell and quite ducked up too on many devices
I’m talking about hdr 10+ with dynamic metadata ,not hdr 10
When it comes to matching with every other operating system Apple has, yeah, I thought it was a good move.
Surprised it wasn’t done back in Lion/Mountain Lion when the rest of the applications names were changed “iCal=Calendar, Address Book=Contacts, iChat=Messages, etc.”
As for third-party applications, that’s literally just a simple update that most will make within a matter of days.
Very interesting that there isn't much fanfare over this release, or some hardware to go alongside of it.
A little disappointed that this won't come to my MBP13 2016. I don't need stage manager but think the continuity camera is pretty cool.
For people wondering, Apple started to sell the Belkin mount for Continuity Camera
Anybody running Adobe Creative Cloud on the Ventura betas? I'm going to be so tempted to upgrade but not if it destroys my ability to use Illustrator...
Why would you upgrade something, that works? Wait a few months and upgrade then, if you must. As would Yoda say.
I’m all over that and have been since day 1. It resulted in no real improvement. In fact, it is kind of a step backward because all it did was add some black bordering that makes mail look like something from Windows 95. The entire mail app is a constant shade of white either way.
You're probably right but new features are shiny. Also, if Stage Manager is helpful in taming the 10 billion windows I end up using as I work through my day, it would make my life easier.
Thanks but been there done that. (Or, went there right away and have been doing that since day 1).
See this post:
You don't have to use it, you won't get arrested by the Wallpaper Police if you decide not to use the wallpaper that ships with the OS
It’s pretty consistent across at least 4 monitors:
The built in M1 MBA
2006 era 30” Cinema Display
LG 4K monitor
LG 1440p monitor.
When compared side by side to my 2014 MBA still on Sierra, that was a nice interface that I wish were still the norm.
Ever since Mac Music went to the minimalist flat red on white amaterish unfinished interface with iOS7 and Yosemite, it’s been a non-starter disaster. User ease out the window, and for what gains?
This is what most of Big Sur/Monterey looks like to me, compared to the era before Yosemite:
