I lied. It needed an incremental upgrade first...

what do you mean? Did your OS upgrade get corrupted?

Worked fine, then I kept getting the T2 crashes. Have restored it back, may try it again on the one released today see if it's the same build.

So Catalina is the one without all the legacy 32-bit guff? Should run better than ever in theory?

ChrisD. · 7 Oct 2019 at 22:45

Just installed it onto my 2018 MBP 15", seems fine so far.

Updating desktop now and will do laptop once that one proves ok.

I can't visit websites without a signed certificate in Chrome, is this an OS change? They're all in my homelab so wouldn't mind a way of bypassing it.

Downloading now (mid-2012 13" MBP with 16GB and SSD upgrade). The only thing is, I'm on holiday in Mallorca and the hotel WiFi - while reliable - is 'only' hovering between 5 and 7 Mbps. I'll just leave it downloading overnight and install it when I'm back in the UK tomorrow. I'm yet to stay at a hotel with working Ethernet points (and I only ever stay 5* or 4* 'plus'). Boo.

Going to wait till weekend to update, I might even wait for .1 release. Seems like a few are having issues with it getting stuck on "setting up" during the update process, according to macrumours forum.

....aaaand now I have no Dock on my iMac pro aha. There is a slightly different build number between that in the app store and the GM.

Works fine using Safari and Firefox, but with Chrome I had to export the site certificate and import it into Keychain, then set to always trust.

Installed on my MBP and Mac mini 2018 - works great, faster than before.

MOOGLEYS · 8 Oct 2019 at 18:54

Mines a 2019 13” and it’s running perfect....

Rainmaker · 8 Oct 2019 at 19:11

Mid-2012 MBP 13" installed and running perfectly. No glitches and it's nice to see they switched default shells to ZSH. Let the OhMyZSH commence.

As someone who uses the terminal a bit, not a huge amount, how will it affect me?
