Brilliant breakdown mate! Love how organised and structured yet fun your breakdowns are, Sonoma feels like i've got a brand new mac!

I'm really interested in the features added to this new version of Mac Sonoma but does it allow Twinmotion to work on the Mac properly?. So that I can upgrade my Mac from macOS Monterey to macOS Sonoma for rendering on architecture modelling and drawings

[JochenSteglich]

Exactly what I was searching for: Thank you for showing how to switch the widgets to monochrome!

[riyanrangoonwala]

Can anyone explain why my yellow and green dot for maximizing and minimising the windows look different than him i thought it was because of the update but he has the old one and I like the old one 😢 how can I get it back.

[darren]

Can I ask a question of anyone here? Is anyone using Simon's Life OS with Chrome and having any issues with it? In the tracker, it's assuming the daily updates are "tomorrow". Previously the weekly and monthly calendar was also skewed. Re the tracker issue, I've ensured that both my Mac and Notion are using my timezone. These issues don't appear with Safari at all... on Sonoma, of course, that's why I'm asking.

[Mannwhich]

pretty sure I have a 2018 MacBook Pro. Can I still download this? Doesn't show up in the system updates.

1:04 Mum mum mum my my my my woooh! My Sonoma.
Loved it Simon 🤣

I've been putting off upgrading from Monterey for some time, but as an iOS developer, I know have to upgrade. I just got a new iPad Pro and Apple Pencil Pro. I have a drawing app that I want to add some of the new features of the pencil pro to. In order to do that, I have to be running on Sonoma. Multiple reports of large USB drives becoming unusable with Sonoma has scared me off. Some workarounds amazingly are to fix the drive in Windows. After more reading, it seems one or more of these issues have been fixed, there are security features that can be tweaked, and/or you just need to wait for the OS to finish indexing, which can take a long time on large drives. So I'll be trying Sonoma out soon.

I run Sonoma on a MacBook Pro from 2012. Works like a charm!

[matthewgarcia]

7:21 mine doesnt go like this for some reason. same settings. Also some of the wallpapers cant download for some reason

[jdykast]

If I'm not mistaken, was there a bit of cheeky voice over work beginning at about 11:43? Hmmm? I felt the audio quality shift was weird until you got to the bit about creating your own voice!

Sneaky business aside, another great video. The monochromatic widgets was worth the watch all by itself. That has been driving me crazy! Love the ability to make them always monochrome.

[Sandbag]

Simon - I dont know if it is me but the audio gots blank from about 11:40 until a little after 13 min. Great work as always - love your videos

[JustMe-ltxv]

can I have a different background on my lockscreen and desktop screen? How?

[jerryx]

So mate I have the 14" MBP M1 running Monterey. I do not care about any new features, but would you still recommend Sonoma?

[walterhall]

How come some 2017 laptops can not download Sonoma

[DefCantGame]

Just happy they finally fixed the wifi issues with 14.0 that were plaguing most that upgraded

[TYLERMARSHIE]

Why can't I play sims 4 through Origin since I updated?

[stephro]

Sonoma is great, until you try to use your Adobe graphic design products. It's very glitchy in InDesign - example, when dragging to select multiple objects or text, my screen goes white. I was told by Adobe to use a higher res monitor for GPU, and to wait for Apple to fix the issue. The issues are not huge, but they do slow production.

[jackula]

I still haven't switched from Catalina to Big Sur onwards, I hate how Mac OS has turned into a glorified version of iOS.

[edwardrogersmusic]

Hey I keep on having my apps and safari windows opening on the right side of my screen... do you know why?
