Aslong as the possibility to run as clasical root still exsisrs for us 1%ers I see no problem in 99% runing rootless, as long as I can still read from/wrote to any file I need to to keep macports/home brew working, but I will complain biterly the day apple tells me that I am no longer allowd to " at my own risk" do watever the f i plece on my own machine (legrl and license conditions naturaly aplay)I have no doubt most OSes will be secured like iOS within 5-10 years, because 99% of the population will want devices to just run apps on. This is the way it's going.
There will always be those 1% of devices people like us can use, but things will be locked down for the majority of systems.
Another car analogyHow open were cars from the 1890s to 1950s? You could work on whatever you wanted. Today, cars are extremely hard to change and fix. They've gone from open to closed.
I have the Base model as well, i5 4gb ram 128gb storage. And yes reduce transparency is turned on
What is "wallpaper"? I've looked through System Preferences and can't find anything that deals with wallpaper.
El Cap works more than fine on MBP13 Mid2010 Core2Duo. But 4GB Ram are strongestnessly recommended. My one year newer Mini with 2GB is choking. But it is still better that anything from Lion till Yosemite. Any other system than Snow Leopard or El Cap I can not recommend for those kind of devices.
Wasn't Desktop Patterns fun. One can even make their own patterns. I made one that was pleasing to ones eyes. Ever since Apple changed to Desktop Pictures (I think starting with System 8), thing have been different. Yes, I remember doing quite a few reboots under System 7 - got a lot of bombs. Yeah, from Apple, I never did hear/read of anything called 'wallpapers' for the Mac. The first home Mac that I used was the LC, it came with System 6 installed.
The usual release time is 10 AM PDT. One time it was 9 AM PDT.
How about Snow Yosemite?
