Mac OS Catalina is really tough with few apps working, especially OBS. When I tried opening it, there were thousands of issues. It’s frustrating because you can’t just switch back to Mac OS Mojave without resetting the device. If you’re looking for the best option, Mojave would be the way to go.

It’s hard to revert without resetting my knowledge base. I think the software might be shifting, allowing 10.15 support, but disabling 32-bit apps makes things very difficult. 10.14.6 seems like a solid option until Mac apps move to 64-bit for compatibility. Thanks Apple.

You should have been able to reinstall Mojave and restore from your backup after using Time Machine. Otherwise, I’m not sure there’s a straightforward solution. Also, it seems some people didn’t verify that their important applications were compatible with 32-bit support before proceeding. Switching to 64-bit was significant, so confirming compatibility was crucial.

I understood the changes were coming doesn’t improve things. Cisco Anyconnect hasn’t yet released an update that functions properly on 10.15. That doesn’t mean I still don’t appreciate the new features and it’s not a negative update overall.

Eh, can't really fault Apple for pushing out 32-bit support. It had to be done sometime, and they've already gone 64-bit only with iOS and iPadOS so it made sense for the ecosystem as a whole. It will be a pain for a bit though if you need software to work but also want the new features. Always bamboozles me, the devs knew this was coming too, right? Weird how a lot of companies that make important software reeeeeeally hate to actually update it. My dad does a lot of financial stuff, he has to work with plugins that still require Internet Explorer . Thankfully I mostly work with Excel and other very common stuff that's updated regularly. This is true, 'tis a nice update. I don't use it much differently than I did Mojave though, but I am pleased with the overhaul to System Preferences. Bit of a learning curve because stuff is in different places, but it's much more consistent with iOS now.

There’s no way to revert unless you already have a time machine backup. I usually dual and sometimes triple boot my Macbooks using High Sierra, Mojave, and Catalina because of this.
