Re: Is it safe (enough) to jump from Mojave to Catalina?
I have never seen a benchmark test that supports this statement.

Re: Is it safe (enough) to jump from Mojave to Catalina?
I just noticed it immediately after doing clean install of Catalina, no benchmark needed

A clean install of anything is going to feel peppier than a long entrenched web of old prefs files and crapware. Any apples yo apples benchmark test I’ve ever seen shows Catalina running the same or slower than Mojave across various tasks. Newer machines seem to benefit more. YMMV etc etc. Short version: there are a ton of reasons not to risk an update and no discernible reasons in favor of it. Except maybe Dark Mode. That seems nice. __________________ Mac Pro 2013 12 Core Trashcan, 64 gigs, OSX 10.14.6 PT HD Ultimate 2020.3 HDX with Focusrite Red 8pre, Dock + S3.

Re: Is it safe (enough) to jump from Mojave to Catalina?
From a pure consumer viewpoint iTunes-> Apple Music and Podcasts is an improvement. No I'd never move a production system for that. I need to boot between Mojave and Catalina for development stuff, 2020.5 on both seems very nice. Folks with Quicktime dependencies of course may be out of luck.
I expect Eric has a good understanding on why he wants to move. |

Re: Is it safe (enough) to jump from Mojave to Catalina?
I have done clean install of every major release since public beta, so I know when some change is getting better or worse. After Sierra (top performer), there has been some bloat that Apple could not have thrown away until Catalina. Feels as snappy again.
Mind you, I have been using same hardware (2013 iTrashcan) for many years already so any change I see comes from software.

Re: Is it safe (enough) to jump from Mojave to Catalina?
Oh I did not mean to imply that. These are all good questions/comments... putting assign the Quicktime issue (which *is* serious for some) I'm actually happy that we have had a run of pretty decent releases recently. I know some Windows users may be seeing more plugin issues/needing to tune them.
