Thanks. I will add this info.stratology wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2019 11:36 amWow, a thread that attempts to start a rational discussion. With at least some reasonable responses (thanks Urs!). Great.
The Arstechnica Catalina review is a good starting point for some basic underlying information:
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/10 ... ca-review/
Some points:
- Apple started the transition from 32bit to 64bit in 2003.
- OpenGL was deprecated (not removed) in Mojave last year, but has been stuck on an old version since 2010 (Metal was introduced in 2014).
- kexts will be replaced by System Extensions and DriverKit in the future, the transition started with Catalina
- SwiftUI
- SIP changes
- new Firmlinks in APFS
- read only OS partition
- Notarisations
Can you please add some more details to the list so that i can simply copy & paste it to the first page? It would be nice if you could also add what positive/negatives it will have for developers/end-users. Please try to explain it as simple as possible, so that also a non-devs can understand it
