The new appleOS updates have surprised me! (self.operating_systems)

I have the dev betas on my devices because I live life on the edge.

I'm really surprised at how focused they've been on UX improvements. So many minor things that had been bothering me for ages have been tweaked or fixed.

Have you tried the betas? Thoughts?

It's already far more stable, especially when working with multiple screens for me.

Ventura would forget my display layout almost daily, Sonoma hasn't once. And I am LOVING Desktop widgets, something I've wanted for ages! And Apple, in a very un-apple move, put in loads of options to tweak how the UI works

Everything old is new again. Maybe OS 15 San Francisco will bring back brushed metal :lol:

I think there’s more use for them now

The big question will be how long Apple pays attention to them this time. So many ideas get launched and then wither on the vine because the OS team is off chasing the new shiny thing.

Are You running the Beta on an M1/M2 or on an Intel Chip?
