Sharing success of MBA 2015 i5 8GB Ram with Sonoma 14.1

Everything is working so far! Installed it yesterday. Updated from Monterey, keeping all data.

It has 1TB SSD , so nice. Probably the cheapest 1TB Sonoma out there, haha. (I got it second hand)

To my surprise, it seems to run even better than Monterey.

The reason I installed it because I want newer Xcode to support app development with my iPhone(iOS17), was on Monterey and previously couldn't. Now "it just works"!

Installation process:

Follow the instruction using a 64GB USB. However...

Hiccup:

I couldn't finish downloading the installer from the OCLP tool, it always shown an error within a minute of starting. Copied the link and pasted it into browsers, same.

At last I used an opensource downloader: Motrix, problem fixed.

Thanks a lot for the team creating this beautiful tool.
