macOS 10.14 Mojave is out, it’s in the wild and across the world, millions of Mac users are deciding it they love it or hate it.
Over at Ars Technica, Andrew Cunningham has published an incredibly complete review of the new operating system, including its positive aspects, its negative aspects and its respective warts.
The end result is pretty satisfying. In short, Cunningham points out that for macOS 10.12 Sierra and macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Apple was overhauling a lot of underlying technologies, especially where its core file system was concerned.
Per the review:
“Mojave, macOS version 10.14, takes the opposite approach. It still does some foundation-laying, especially around iOS apps, and it finishes up a few things that didn’t quite get finished in High Sierra. But it also includes the biggest and most consequential changes to the Mac’s user interface, the desktop, and Finder that we’ve seen in years; some brand-new apps ported over from iOS; new automation features; an overhauled App Store; and significant improvements to small but frequently-used actions like taking screenshots or using Quick Look.”
Cunningham gives the new operating system high marks, but also notes that its requirement that a Mac be able to run Metal essentially excludes a number of Macs that could have readily run the new OS.
The review’s worth the read, so head on over and give it a gander if you have a few free moments.
As always, please let us know what you make of Mojave in the comments.
