Ask HN: Have You Upgraded to macOS Catalina Yet?

Have you noticed any bugs, or features that weren't on the Apple announcement page?

I've upgraded one of my machines in order to try native jira app from AppStore.

Plot twist: I can't login to AppStore now from that device, it just says "unexpected error" or something like that. No reboot/relogin fixed that no matter what. Plenty of people with the same issue as me as well who can't use AppStore.

Yeah I was on the betas because I wanted to checkout SwiftUI, I upgraded to the public release a few weeks ago. I had issues with the XCode beta during the beta period and some weird glitches in system preferences but all that seems fixed now. I seem to be super lucky that I haven't had any of the issues people have been talking about.

Yes I upgraded as well. As a designer I haven't faced any problems in my work so far. All the design tools work nicely as before except Adobe products(which I'm not using for a long time now but I read about Adobe tools facing some problem on internet)

No - the new features don't outweigh the potential headache for me. I don't see the point right now, other than getting rid of the annoying popup (but still nowhere near as annoying as the windows update popups were haha).

I usually upgrade my travel laptop first before my daily driver laptop. So far, no troubles on my travel laptop. However I've only used it minimally.

I'm going to give my main laptop another month before I upgrade, I imagine.

Just got a new laptop with it. Had some frustrations with the Applications folder lockdown and some of the apps being dumbed down even further than before. But no glitches.

No, I have not. I don't trust the Apple enough to break my workflow at the moment although I don't even use any 32 bit apps (at least that I'm aware of).

I will also wait for some .2 or further release.

No and I don't intend to for a while after reading this: https://tyler.io/broken/

I have not, there were people that told me it was not working with Cisco VPN software. Having the ability to work over VPN is far more important than having the latest OSX

Yes. The one problem I had was that an XCode update would fail to install after a complete download. After the latest update (to 15.1? IIRC), that stopped happening.

Installed it, and had been running the beta for some time. No problems that I can think of. But I don’t use iPhoto, or any apps that depend on iCloud Drive.

I only just upgraded to Mojave, after long consideration. Still some rough edges, but by now that one works acceptably to me.

No. Just 1hr ago a colleague accidentally upgraded to Catalina and her computer is stuck on an infinite restart loop.

No— I’ve been burned before with upgrading soon after release and I worry that some of my audio software won’t work.

No - I have some 32bit apps that provide more utility than Catalina provides.

Not yet. Will probably wait for .2 release. It's my work computer so I'm not in a big hurry.

Yes. No serious issues so far, and I like being able to use the Jira iPad app.

Whoa, didn't know that was a thing. Vaguely I have heard about running iOS stuff on Desktop, but I didn't follow closely because I had no interest in it. Now.. I do.

Will have to give this a try, thanks!

You can't do it with just any iOS app. It has to be recompiled by the dev. It's basically just rebuilding it for X64 instead of ARM64 and linking slightly differently though, so lots of apps are doing it.

I have but regret it.

Not yet, probably next month.

Not yet, maybe sonn
