I’ve been on the release candidates and the OS is very stable and I haven’t found any major breakages or random crashes . Also, homebrew has been working great and lots of other open source software S

Same for me, mostly. I had bumped into problems with apps I use:

* Little Snitch needs a nightly build (status: fixed)

* SoundSource doesn't work (status: fixed)

* SpamSieve v2 doesn't work because Mail.app removed plugin support in favor of extensions. (status: SpamSieve v3 is out now and works)

* Marked 2 broke on docs shorter than 999 visible bytes (status: still broken. Workaround: BBEdit text filter to add a bunch of lorem ipsum)

* Bartender 4 doesn't work. (status: Bartender 5 is out and works)

The OS itself and 1st-party apps have been mostly fine from the first beta.

Bartender 5 is paid upgrade and only for Sonoma+ - but if you bought 4 in the last year+ it's a free upgrade.

Time to put all these damn shoves and pitchforks back ...

True. That’s a fair policy, even if I wasn’t able to use the discount.

"doesn't work (status: fixed)"

What the hell does that mean? If it is fixed, doesn't it means it works?

The language of the parent is in the past tense, i.e. they ran into these issues along the way during the release candidate phase.

Good to know! I was debating whether or not I should wait for a *.1 update.

This is NEVER a bad idea.

It's a bad idea for release schedules that don't backport security patches to earlier major versions, but luckily that doesn't apply to Apple.

There were a lot of problems early on, but it quickly became stable for me
