Catalina Or Not?

Can i ask an honest question?

How do you Mac folks feel about the rolling series of obsolescence versus first adopter teething troubles from Apple?

Over the last few years I’ve camped out in a few different multiroom studios. I’ve beem surprised by the frequency of “can/should I/do I have to update OSX” and the hassle and lost time I’ve seen very professional users deal with from it.

I understand there can be advantages to the Apple ecosystem with iCloud and your iPhone and so forth. But in a audio/DAW setting with specialized haedware and plugins it seems like more stuff gets broken by the OS than seems reasonable.

I have 20 year old audio software and hardware desiigned for Windows 95 that runs perfectly on Windows 10. So, coming from a different paradigm, it just seems like Apple makes it harder than need be. As a PC guy, i just think it would drive me nuts.

Please take no offense, I’m just honestly curious.
