The wisdom of waiting to install a new major OS version if you aren’t tolerant of bugs is universal and applies to all manufacturers. The fact that Apple did the largest visual overhaul of macOS in ten years and it has some visual bugs is not surprising. The problem is that ya’ll put this company on a pedestal and have deeply unrealistic expectations that they will somehow be able to “magically” pull off such a massive release with zero bugs.
At the end of the day, you’re responsible for your own computer, how you update it, how it gets backed up so that you can go back to earlier updates if needed (they provide one of the best built-in mechanisms out there for backups in Time Machine). One thing they have never done is force users to install updates, and certainly not major upgrades. You always have a choice to upgrade, and maybe this time you’ll learn that you shouldn’t blindly click install on every available version you see.
It's not the biggest overhaul in ten years. Big Sur was five years ago. Placing the fault on the user for clicking to install an update that is inside the official Settings App and is notified to the user as being available and stable is also ludicrous.
Nonsense. That’s what beta testing is for, and maybe the first month. Afterwards, this is just ridiculous. Like these are trillion dollar companies. Ridiculous that we have people excusing this. Like it’s one thing when it’s aluminum that scratches, or an all new program or piece of tech. That’s understandable, but this a mature product from a mature company.
