I have an iMac 2017 27" and wasn't confident about installing it because a stable system was really important to me.
But, for some weird reason Safari was running really slow and my Magic Trackpad broke and I needed one new and could only find the one with USB-C that's only compatible with Sonoma because Tim Cook is an asshole.
So, I've decided to install over my current Ventura installation just to test it and THE COMPUTER IS ACTUALLY RUNNING FASTER.
I don't know if it's the animations or the way the new OS handles things, but it seems faster and now the new Magic Trackpad works and Safari is much faster and it's not even a clean install.
Isn't Apple a piece of shit company? They deliberately make Safari worse on Ventura to force users to upgrade and don't even get me started on the Magic Trackpad 3.
But there's an important thing to say about my particular case. I'm not running that piece of shit Fusion Drive, but an SSD and I have 16gb of RAM. If you're running fusion, I'm willing to bet your result will be different.
The only error I've got so far was some blank prompt on the Apple TV app and the "Install MacOS icon" with an exclamation point on the Launchpad. Does anyone knows how can I get rid of that?
So, if you were thinking you should install it or not, like I did, I would say, go for it. It might surprise you.
And the funny thing is that my mom was asking me the other day if I upgraded her old laptop to Windows 11 wouldn't make things run faster and I've said that was impossible due to the fact she had an old laptop and a new system would demand more from it and lo and behold, I'm running a system that's two iterations from the last supported one and is actually running faster. Only Apple can provide you with that kind of experience and the good folks at the OpenCoreLegacyPatcher team that actually made the impossible happen. I don't know how they make it, but I can't thank you them enough for not only making MacOS run this smoothly, but empowering me to give the middle finger to Apple.
Just go for it.
