Are there any Mac OS to stay away from?

I'm currently using Monterery and was considering updating...any input would be appreciated before I pull the trigger.

Helpful however just because Luna is compatible with an OS doesn't necessarily mean the OS is solid. Hoping to see if there was anything more insightful by users. Thanks Klong

My audio production computer always stays one OS version behind the current one. If you do other things on it then it gets more complicated I guess.

I tend to stay on the oldest OS version that's supported, but I also have been known to follow the above statement about staying one OS behind the curve. Tends to be much more stable.

I currently run Ventura.

I tend to go with the latest OS that UAD and Arturia have OK'd. I'm running Sonoma on M1 Desktop and MBP with no problems.

i am still on ventura, but i have diverse set of tools...e.g., latest native instruments komplete kontrol just added sonoma support this week

Sonoma is fine, at least for me...

I'm not a power user by any means, but Luna/Sonoma are doing quite nicely here. See specs below.

I think it kind of comes down to what you're doing -- e.g., big session planned on Sunday, don't update your Mac on Friday. READ UP on problems folks are having with Sonoma 14.4 and wait for 14.4.1 or 14.4.2 right now, for instance. Check all your "must use" apps are up to date and actually work with Sonoma (e.g., Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol last week did not work with Sonoma, I think I mentioned). Check "does it work" guides, like the one Sweetwater tries to keep updated with each new version: https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/macos-sonoma-compatibility-guide/

I still have a 2013 Macbook Pro 15-inch running Sierra so my AutoSampler software will run

That's a good point about waiting for the next update Neo.

I'm on sonoma 14.2.1 and it's been ok for me so far.

I've been a bit too busy to really dig into things like I usually do though so that's not to say something ain't broke somewhere and I just haven't noticed yet. But as far as I can tell, it's been ok.
