It’s weird, I keep hearing things like this but have encountered literally no issues with it on my mid-2015 MacBook Pro... Is there some particular hardware that it’s dodgy on or am I just lucky?
I have to reboot my late 2013 MacBook Pro a few times a week, when it freezes or becomes partially unresponsive in weird ways. Previous to High Sierra, I tried to remember to reboot it every few months, mostly out of superstition.
I plan to upgrade to a 2015 model when this one dies, for the reasons mentioned elsewhere in this thread and here https://blog.pinboard.in/2016/10/benjamin_button_reviews_the...
Personally, 6 Macs upgraded and I had one problem that was caused by crappy vendor software which assumed port 8080 would be available for them to use.
In the office we finally got the okay to update everyone and 100s of devs are doing fine. There was a homebrew issue that, if you hit it, required a reinstall, but that wasn’t so bad.
High Sierra finally kills Python 2.6 in favor of 2.7, and I had an app fail that embedded Python 2.6 pyc files as an obfuscation — 2.7 wouldn’t run them. I worked with that developer to debug and got a new build out — they were receiving many reports of High Sierra issues that were all caused by that.
Pretty typical OS upgrade, other than the early stuff — but there’s a reason you don’t upgrade until at least .1 is out!
Look at it this way: there are literally dozens of complaints posted in this thread. But Apple sold 5.39 million Macs in the most recent quarter.
You're always going to hear more from people who are unhappy, than the quietly satisfied.
It was a shame because they were, on the surface, basically the best thing since sliced bread for dgpu on Apple hardware, so you must have gotten a gem :)
Or she just got a few lemons out of the millions manufactured.
In my case, that’s a 2nd gen 15” touchbar MacBook Pro, a 15” 2015 MacBook Pro, and a Skylake i7 hackintosh tower. I use Asus and Dell monitors and stick to first party or Mac exclusive third party software wherever possible. All three give me little or no trouble with high sierra... reboots are infrequent (1-2 per month, sometimes less) and are usually done to install updates or boot into windows.
I feel like my 2014 rMBP is silently yelping "What have you done to me?" every day.
MBPr with the strip myself, High Sierra latest, absolutely no problems. Connect it to external mechanical keyboard and Dell monitor when at work, also have external audio cards and MIDI gear. And many external HDs.
Where exactly are all those issues?
But it's funny you say that, because that dichotomy seems to define High Sierra; it's either a total mess, or totally forgettable.
