Late-2013 iMac Ventura 13.3 -> Sonoma 14.3.1 Update Success

Began this morning on OCLP 1.2.1 + Ventura 13.3, working like a champ on my late-2013 iMac (14,1). Upgraded to OCLP 1.3.0, updated EFI partition and root patches. No issues.

Created USB installer for Sonoma 14.3.1, and followed the directions from Mr. Macintosh on YouTube and maybe 45 minutes later my system booted into Sonoma and after a few minutes, was asked to install OpenCore to the EFI partition as expected. Did that and booted the iMac without the USB key. Cool.

First thing that I have never noticed before, is that the upgrade appeared to kick off an iCloud Drive sync. This caused the 'fileproviderd' process to chew up about 50% of the CPU for.. several hours.

Since that finished, I've been using it for a couple of hours now and the only issue I have seen is Chrome has totally hung up more than once, requiring it to be restarted. Seems to be OK now but will report back if it continues.

Tough to complain given this is a decade-old system, I guess!

If anyone has any questions, fire em my way and I'll be more than happy to answer.
