Apple Releases macOS Sonoma With New Widget Features, Safari Updates, Screen Sharing Improvements and More
Apple today released macOS 14 Sonoma, the newest version of the operating system that runs on the Mac. macOS Sonoma has been in beta testing for...
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.

I'm on WiFi on 1 gig/1 gig fiber. This has been happening for ~2 years. If you search for others, you will find dozens of posts to Reddit and Apple support. There is never a solution. I guess I will just have to continue to avoid stations that don't have a set playlist going forward. Here's to hoping MacOS 15 fixes the issue.

That was when they were on a two-year release cycle, too, so there were basically no major features released between 2007 and 2011. The current new release every year (with features) is probably too fast for reliability and stability, especially because they need to make the ecosystem work with other devices (iPhone, iPad, watch, TV, etc.), and try to combine cross-platform features or maintain some cross platform parity between MacOS and the others.
Wait, I haven't even tried Ventura yet...
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
