KINDLE FOR MAC OS CATALINA UPGRADE MAC OS X

While I understand that today’s tech motto is The show must go on, that also doesn’t have to mean that the show should get painful to watch. I don’t need and I don’t want disruption for disruption’s sake on a yearly basis. What I want from a new version of an operating system, especially one as mature as Mac OS, is that it fixes or improves what was not working well in previous versions, and that it leaves tried-and-true features and functionalities as untouched as technically possible.

(I know some will see this as a small thing, but really, Apple, why mess with Mail’s classic layout? It’s been my preferred layout since Mac OS X 10.0, and that type of layout has basically been the one I have used since I started using email more than twenty years ago). In other cases, like Security and Mail, what Apple considers an ‘improvement’, it’s more of a hindrance for me. Examples include (but are not limited to) Apple Music, TV, Podcasts, Photos, Notes, Reminders, Screen Time, and Apple Watch. But as I scroll down that page, I find entire sections whose improvements are of no use to me, because they improve certain features or areas of the Apple ecosystem I don’t use. If you look at Catalina’s list of features, there is a lot of new stuff indeed. The reasoning behind it is quite simple, actually, and it boils down to this: what Catalina takes away from me is more than what it gives me. I could perhaps do the same with my desktop workhorse, a 2017 4K retina iMac, but it came with a 5400 rpm hard drive as its main internal volume, and if Mojave updates the filesystem to APFS, then it’s advisable to upgrade to an SSD first.īut Catalina is a decidedly controversial upgrade, and in my case I didn’t even have to debate too much whether I should upgrade or not. I’ll probably upgrade the SSD-equipped MacBook Air to Mojave before the end of the year. Both my main Macs are still on Mac OS 10.13.6 High Sierra, and so far I have no plans to upgrade to Mac OS 10.15 Catalina.
