![]() Wacom Intuos driver got mad - this is definitely caused by the latest Wacom driver update, but probably connected to Sonoma, too.IMac 2021, 24" generally working great with Sonoma. We don’t want to be part of an upgrade cycle, we just want a good computer that’s not windows and that’s stable and will last many years.Ĭame here to find anything about slow notes in notes.app in Sonoma, so will add some experience The sooner these dumb pseudo techy brown nosers realize it’s wasn’t like that before and users could have new Mac OSX installed on older mac’s the faster Tim Cook can realize it’s mistake and not push for so many damn updates to iphonize the mac’s. A 2012 Mac Pro has no problem in running Sonoma but it can’t because apple doesn’t let the installer work.Īnd fuk the brown nosers saying “it’s normal and why should it support a 4yr old mac or a 10yr old mac?”. Then turning around and making some dumb presentations on how green they are. Cannot be like “you have to update on version xx.3 and never on the first release” any longer if it’s that fast like iOS.Īnd fuk apple for pushing too soon their planned obsolescence, specially getting rid of intel macs. I understand why Apple designed it the way they did, but had they actually connected the fans to the CPU and perhaps standardized the 2018-early 2020 Air with a quad-core chip, it likely would’ve been more popular and favorableįuk apples new (nearly) yearly update Mac OS cycle. So the thing nearly instantly thermally throttled once you load 4 tabs in Google Chrome Not to mention the fan assembly wasn’t even directly connected on top of the chip, it was connected to the shell of the MacBook. The 2018 model was especially bad due to having only 1 processor choice: the dual-core i5-8210Y. The M1 Air was when news outlets said “This is the next laptop to buy”. The Verge couldn’t call the refreshed Air line the default until early 2020, and even still it felt half-hearted rather a committed declaration. It’s the MacBook Air from 2018, 2019, and even early 2020 that were just, bad…. Sure they’re crushed in performance by Apple Silicon, but these machines are still good enough for everyday pros to use them still for programming, virtualization, CAD, etc. The iMac Pro and 2018 MacBook Pros all should still run fine. TL DR 14.1 should help, but Sonoma is a super buggy, super slow, gimped OS that's by a margin one of the worst operating systems Apple has ever released.Įeeh, I think it’s this particular line that’s bad. Gimped to match the pathetic iOS code, even though the far better code was already written and working so they had to spend time and money ruining the feature. Now it just shows about 50 items without any headings or indications of time at all, and that's it. Sonoma also fully gimps the Music app's one redeeming feature on macOS, which was the date-header-broken-down "Recently added" which performed quickly and gave a very good overview of days, weeks, months and years of addition for you whole library. ![]() Just about nothing is fixed in Sonoma, because Apple only add more bugs these days. And yes, System Settings has been an incomprehensibly slow bag of sh*t since it appeared in Ventura - dreadful lag, full of bugs I listed them in Reddit once and it took two at-edge-of-maximum-post-length posts. Sonoma was rushed out a month earlier than it should've been, even for a post-OS-X release. They left a bunch of debugging code turned on in 14.0 (yes, I submitted feedback, which was - as is modern Apple tradition - ignored) which makes it run like molasses, especially Safari and especially on Intel where the performance hit is harder to absorb.ġ4.1 still has some of the debugging on - they still have paint debugging enabled in Safari (the 'red flash' when a page starts to render) but it's overall a lot faster. In fact I think Sonoma is a bit faster, Settings opens much quicker than Ventura My 2019 16” Intel MBP (2.6GHz 6-core i7-9750H, Radeon 5300M, 16GB 2667MHz DDR4) runs the exact same it did on Ventura/Monterey/Big Sur/Catalina as it does now on Sonoma. If it’s still slow, try reinstalling the OS and waiting again for Spotlight to reindex Let your computer rest for a few days on power for Spotlight to build, and use it as its intended. The 2018 MacBook Air was designed for web browsing and emailing. You have a severely underpowered Mac, no wonder it’s a bit “slow” But they have margin-of-error single-core performance, most important for the snappiness of UIs. To be fair Apple’s A10X is faster in multicore. You want to know what Apple processor has comparable performance? Apple A10X Fusion. Oh look at that, a cute and adorable 1.6GHz i5-8210Y and adorable LPDDR3 2133MHz RAM. I’m going to assume that means you likely didn’t provide your Mac enough time to index and rebuild Spotlight, which naturally makes your Mac slower. After a week of heavy use, really heavy use
