macOS Sonoma’s public beta is live and continues the ‘continuity’ trend Apple has been pushing for the past few years.

What do you mean by ‘fix’?

I haven’t noticed any noteworthy differences, by the way.

I think he means bringing back the catalina settings app. Loved it, especially compared to the overly minimalist thing we have now.

[-] ndr@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That’s almost impossible.

They’re not gonna have a Windows situation with 2 settings apps, and they have no good reason to revert their changes, since it would be against the unification of the interface across iOS and macOS they’ve been pushing hard for years.

I know, still a big reason i keep some macs on catalina and so

You can upgrade to Monterey at least. That’s where I’ll be staying until they introduce a feature worth upgrading for or they stop security patches for the OS.

Rly, thx didn't know this i thought it came directly with big sur. Then i will probably upgrade to monterey if all my apps support it.

Well, by trying to unify iOS and MacOS they completely ruined the perfectly fine system settings app, and replaced it with something absolutely dreadful, slow and unintuitive.

Gotta say that the very NON-tech savvy people I know had one of these reactions to the change:

  • they didn’t even notice;
  • they like it better now;
  • they don’t care at all as they never open it.
