All seem OK for me. Fingers crossed that bugs don't bite!

Obviously I haven’t had time to explore the new features of macOS 15 but I notice iCloud Pinning is now available. I hadn’t realised it’s also a feature of iCloud on Windows.

iCloud Drive pinning is also available on iOS and iPadOS of course. Here’s Howard Oakley’s long take on the Sequoia feature.

I don't use iCloud. A brief scan o fteh list of new "features" reveals nothing I'd want that would cause me to change my macOS version. Just a few app
updates AFAICT.

Seriously?! No iPad, no iPhone and an expensive Mac which cannot do much?

LOL.

If someone reported that Ventura fixes, f'rinstance, a number of edge cases in file sharing or screen sharing that would be sone thing. But otherwise - meh!

But constantly asking technical questions in the iPhone and Mac groups? Thankfully it is not necessary to understand everything.

I'm finding it pretty good - checking in on travel, banking, and weather apps for example. Only thing so far is the window is small, low resolution, and not scalable.

Agreed. There are some apps which need a lot of typing, and it's easier to do that on a physical keyboard than on an iPhone screen.
