I guess Linux isn't a "real OS" and requires hours to even boot to a desktop screen, that's why you can't recommend it. After all, we are in the 25th August of 1991! the same day Torvalds announced his OS, naturally we can't expect a ton, can we?
@general. It seems like now Apple wants to have even more restricted control over their OS, guess their walled garden is just getting tighter as ever.

Anyone who plans to do a major version OS update within 6 months of release is obviously not doing work on that computer, audio or otherwise.
There has been a developer freak out for every major MacOS release since 10.0. The sky has not fallen. These changes are good for the future of the OS as they make malware and surveillance software enormously more difficult to create. And, yes, it would seem it will break a lot of cracked and pirated software too.
On that last point: if there were no piracy I feel confident the audio software market would expand with more developers, more diversity and quality of software, lower prices overall and more money for developers. So I say bravo to that. It will be worth a transition.

Agreed about the software mostly. I think they can do a better job of not breaking things and making everyone else pay (in time = money). The biggest issue for me is the need to run on newer apple hardware, which in my opinion, is no longer worth the money they are commanding. With so many design failures and inabilty to keep up with the market let alone either gouging further or taking a lot of stuff away, they just don't hit any optimial balance. For me I am afraid it will be a move to windoze. I'll say on high sierra as long as I can and then either get a Metal graphics card for my mac to move up to Mojave, maybe Catalina if its supported (I haven't checked). but after that, unless they put out a machine that make sense for the money, I'm switching platforms. I've already started to work with Reaper, going from Logic, in preparation for this.

Hmm, I'm not an expert at piracy. But I don't think getting rid of that necessarily means = better plugins, lower prices and more diversity. Not trying to promote it but I believe that more developers, more diversity and quality of software and all those reasons you listed come mainly from different things (Programmers availability, companies looking for and hiring innovative or well founded designers, pushing their designs out, etc.)Noumena wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 3:39 am On that last point: if there were no piracy I feel confident the audio software market would expand with more developers, more diversity and quality of software, lower prices overall and more money for developers.

I can see where you're going with this and it does seems reasonable on the outside. But in reality, I feel the lack of a piracy in platform, while it does helps and is a legitimate reason, is among the smaller ones. The bigger and defining reasons being what I said.
I'll leave it just as that, as discussing these topics can and will reasonably get into epic flame wars I do not want to be part of, but I still wanted to address my opinion on it.
Anyway, @general I wonder how many users are going to update their macOS devices to Catalina right now assuming that they have a specific workflow that cannot be replicated in the latter version. Like say, the plugins they use comes from a company or two who may take ages (or perhaps never) to make it compatible to Catalina.

I did have the idea of switching to Catalina, and only installing Logic Pro. Then I could just concetrate on doing all my music with nothing more than LPX. As and when 3rd-party stuff gets cleared-for-compatibility I could install it piece-by-piece.
Could be fun

For the record I wasn't endorsing Linux, just correcting a bit. Though it may sometimes be interpreted as that I suppose.
Anyway, I suppose that if anyone can share more info on how this "notarization" of Apple is going to work, that would add some weight to this discussion. Overall it seems kind of like what they already do with their iOS devices.
