And the Apple Music playing music on "My Station" dies after playing a song or two still exists. I fee like this bug has been there since Big Sur.

Also, external display swapping bug still exists, iMessage on MacOS no longer recognizes that I am the family organizer when trying to approve ScreenTime requests....This release isn't any worse than the last, but Apple really needs a "bug-fix" release. A bunch of "just works" features aren't working.

Wait, I haven't even tried Ventura yet...

Oof enjoy learning the new System Settings app. Not that System Preferences was much better lol

[-] nodimetotie@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I read a lot of angry posts about it (as well as controversial Stage Manager). Still, time to upgrade, I guess. Don't want to lag behind too much.

At least you don't have to use Stage Manager if u don't want to, unlike the reorganized System Settings

Just upgraded my M1 Air, loving the new animated wallpapers and lock screen.

My only pet peeve is that the offline phase of the upgrade took a whole 20 minutes - something which no other OS requires - yes, even for Windows, the offline phase of an upgrade is usually in single digits.

So this is something Apple definitely needs to improve upon.

I can imagine some scenarios where 20m feels like a long time, but it goes by really quickly if you’re doing something. I set mine to update then took a shower. I honestly expected it to take more than an hour, but the 20m flew by and the computer was ready to go before I was.

Sure, I mean it's not a big deal. But it felt a bit odd considering macOS and Apple Silicon usually flies in pretty much every other task, so the lengthy update just felt a bit out of place.

Facetime screen sharing is really great
