FYI....FTA....

Should you download Catalina?

If there is one of these new features that you’re ready to start using right away, then Catalina is likely worth the download. For example, if you’re a designer and you want the new drawing capabilities of Sidecar to use in Photoshop or your family has already purchased Apple Arcade and you want to be able to use it from your Mac, then those are good reasons to jump into Catalina.

However, if you just have a general sense that you’re looking forward to trying out what’s in Catalina, then I’d recommend waiting for a month until after Catalina’s first few incremental updates. That will give you a stable system that’s more bug-free. Catalina is fairly stable, especially compared to the early releases of iOS 13 and iPadOS this year, but that’s safe advice for most operating system upgrades. Don’t put this on the machine you use to make money yet, but definitely load it on a secondary machine or a laptop or a older Mac that you still keep around — so you can get a taste of the Mac’s future.

Speaking of which Macs you can install Catalina on, here’s the official model list from Apple: MacBook Air (Mid 2012 or later), MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 or later), MacBook (Early 2015 or later), iMac (Late 2012 or later), iMac Pro (2017), Mac Pro (Late 2013 or later), and Mac Mini (Late 2012 or later).

One last caveat: Catalina ends support for 32-bit apps, so if you still rely on any older Mac apps then make sure you upgrade them or find alternatives before you update to the new MacOS.
