Increasingly getting the impression that MacOS Sonoma is a lemon, and best avoided.
Interestingly, when it bricked my M1 Pro MBP, and I had to recover from the recovery partition, it reinstalled Ventura.
And the new Macs ship with Ventura, with no Sonoma upgrade available.
Now seeing that the 14.1 update has screwed a load of webcam stuff used by remote workers.
I think I'm gonna keep my MBP on Ventura for now. My Mac mini server is on Sonoma, but all that's doing is hosting Linux VMs.

I had to nuke the entire OS to stop it.
And poor Zoe has just been locked out of her work meetings because 14.1 completely fucked external webcam support.

in reply to Miguel Arroz • •@Miguel Arroz I’ve got 2 UTM Linux VMs on my M2 Mini and they’re solid at the moment.
I’m just not gonna touch it. Probably hold off on further upgrades until 14.2 at least.

Touchwood I’m ok. The 6 days uptime is because of a power outage 6 days ago.
