Mac Performance Guide on Upgrading to Big Sur, all downsides except the Thunderbolt Hub support

  

Mac Performance Guide has as an article on how the upgrade to Big Sur has been nothing but negatives, except that you need to upgrade to it to get Thunderbolt Hub Support which was added in Big Sur.

I know this site is usually very negative on the coverage of Mac OS upgrades, but the upgrades do seem to add more problems than they add, and usually add hits to performance.

And I have personally held off on the upgrade to Big Sur, though I really do need the Thunderbolt hub support so I can have more drives connected than I currently do.

Of course I also can’t upgrade because where I am currently working refuses to upgrade past Adobe Creative Cloud 2019, and that version does not work on Big Sur, you need to run at least 2020 to run on Big Sur. Now when the built in Speech to Text comes out of Beta maybe I can upgrade, though I might as well hold off for now.

Wow they fixed the Folder issue on Music and iOS Finder sync in the latest Catalina 10.15.3 Update!

Holy Shit! They actually fixed it. There was an earlier update that said it was fixing the issue, but it didn’t actually fix it, but the latest Catalina Update 10.15.3 has fixed the issue and I can now see folders from Apple Music in alphabetical order in the finder iOS sync. WOOHOOO!

I had submitted feedback via the new Feedback Assistant app, and hope that helped getting this feature fixed. Lets hope they keep brining feature support back to what it was in iTunes!
