Mini-ITX | i7-4790 | Gigabyte H97 WiFi | 16GB RAM | RX 480 8GB | Mojave 10.14.6

Here is the system info screenshot, I could've sworn I submitted it but it isn't showing up for whatever reason, (https://imgur.com/lw9xZuS).

I upgraded my main rig to Ryzen 3600/RX 5700 and decided to put my old one to good use in my office. The installation was actually pretty painless, ethernet works but onboard wifi does not. I was able to use a USB wireless stick I had lying around and it works great, luckily there were macos drivers available.

I chose Mojave because of it's maturity and looking at Catalina, none of the features seemed like must-haves.

This is all housed in a Fractal Node 202 case, (https://imgur.com/a/frx9fw1). While the case wasn't great for a gaming rig (awful airflow results in bad GPU thermals), it's perfect for a dev machine that can fire up the odd Dota game every once in a while.

I have a noob question, is the "this whole system will break with a random update" thing still true? I turned off all OS updates, is there a real downside to this since I doubt there's going to be any real important updates to Mojave now that Catalina is out?

Thanks!
