Ventura is not even famous/popular in Southern California where it's located and they named an OS after it? Really??

Why on Earth did they name it Ventura?

At least it sounds better than "Big Sur"
Because somebody needs something to complain about.
Fine, it's a cool name, but is it a California landmark on the same level as Yosemite or Big Sur? Should we look forward to macOS Gardena or macOS Tarzana in the future?
They're going the wrong way. I think it's time they start heading north. macOS Shasta, macOS Redding, macOS Klamath, macOS Ashland, macOS Crater Lake, macOS Three Sisters, macOS Hood, macOS Willamette, macOS Astoria, macOS Multnomah, macOS Klickitat, macOS Rainier, macOS Adams, macOS Cascades, macOS North Cascades, macOS Tahoma, macOS Puget Sound, macOS San Juan, macOS Olympic, macOS Vancouver, macOS Denali...
Because Californians don't want to stay in California anyways. They want to sell their home in the Bay Area for 3 million and buy a home in Bend or Portland for only 1 million.

name is OK, stable is most important, I hope usb port could work stable in new OS. so far mac os Montery is working unstably in usb-c port and I have to go back to big sur then everything runs perfectly.
It was just a nice place to stop and visit, great beaches, good restaurants if you were traveling to LA on highway 1.
Ha ha, you aren't from California originally are you. No one would want to pay the capital gains just to live in Bend or Portland compared to many nice spots in California.
Personally, I am looking forward to macOS Bakersfield.
OP. It ruined his day.
Actually since Apple has been changing names and versioning lately (OS X, system preferences, 10.x, etc), we should be thankful they’re still naming macOS versions...
I'm not sure where hoodafoo is from, but Ventura is famous and popular with a storied past. It's a beautiful region of SoCal that has significant heritage and a great place of discovery to those that are not familiar with it.
For many of us Ventura is indeed worthy of recognition by Apple. I didn't see the name coming, but am happy that they choose it. Maybe the OP should jump on the Ventura Highway and go see for themselves.

I live in LA and every time I go to Santa Bubba, I don't ever give it one nano second's thought to stop by Ventura. What for?? It looks like a poor man's Will Rogers Beach
The desktop wallpaper is cheerful! So, I assume that Ventura is a cheerful place. Monterey looks so dismal.
Totally agree. Ventura is nothing to write home about.
This is EXACTLY what I'm worried about! People who don't know anything about Ventura are gonna think the place must be cool because Apple to named an OS after it and will flock there only to find out it's a borderline-ghost town and be really let down!
Ok, now I understand.
I'm guessing Encino. Right?

Ventura, California is beautiful. I actually love the name. I heard the beach water is like the one in Hawaii. Crisp clear. I'm honestly very happy with the name of it
Might as well show off a bit of Ventura.

Book a bus and take all of us out for a field trip
Let's go?
Whether you like this one or not, I say it's better than when they named three different OS X releases after the same animal (Puma, Panther, and Mountain Lion).
