Just curious if anyone has done the upgrade yet and if any ill effects or issues?
Has anyone upgraded to macOS 14.0 Sonoma?

Change the thread title while you can. It is macOS Sonoma. I upgraded my Mac mini to it on Tuesday. It rearranged things on my desktop which I wasn’t expecting. No harm was done however.

I just tried it on our MacBook Air we get as teachers at my school and it was gonna let me start downloading it. Idk if our tech guys are okay with that though so I didn't start it lol
I have it on my personal M1 Macbook Air, and just installed it on my intel Macbook Pro at work, no issues yet.
I dont know, it just appeared in my task bar within the last day to two that is was available.
I installed it last evening on my Studio and MacBook Pro, no ill effects all day so far. Love the new widget feature. Also any Plex users here, no issues so far.
Interesting video from Brandon Butch on what's new with Sonoma. I'm downloading Sonoma as I type this.

WOW, great post. Will watch when I have more time, very thorough
I have a feeling he's calling the most minute changes a "feature" ! 
Upgraded last night, so far I see zero differences. It feels like a really light "upgrade", more like a maintenance release.
That said Im running the last of the intel macs, maybe the M2 guys get something out of it.
In contrast iOS 17 sped up my phone dramatically.

I haven't even checked if my old Mac Pro will run it, I'm still on Monterey with OCLP.
Have you ever tried Open Core Patcher ? Just used it to install Sonoma on my old Macbook Air 2013 (6,2) and it's finished. Doing housekeeping and letting it settle before using it (our daughter uses that machine now).

That's what OCLP is, Open Core Legacy Patcher.
I'm running an old Mac Pro desktop (2010 5,1) that has some hardware that isn't supported natively anymore, which is why I'm still on Monterey. There has been some porting of older modules, but I haven't checked the status of support for this old girl on Sonoma yet.
Yeah, I knew there was an extra letter but figured you'd know what I meant
I spoke to soon about that old MBA '13 too. I'm not certain that OCLP supports Sonoma yet so I ended up trashing the OS on it.... Doing a recovery now and will see what OS I can actually put on it. The way OCLP tricks macOS is thorough enough that the macOS software update mechanism told me Sonoma was available and I went ahead with the update. That was a mistake....

Yeah, they have a pretty good Wiki that tells you what works and what doesn't, though I haven't had a chance to look at it recently.Yeah, I knew there was an extra letter but figured you'd know what I meant
