  • Monterey is out

    Monterey is available for my M1 Mini. I'm going for it. Wish me luck!

    Most reports are saying Monterey is basically a progression update,
    like Snow Leopard was to Leopard, with it fixing some problems, and
    seeming speedier and more efficient than Big Sur.

    A lot of the new "big feature" gimmicks only work with an M1, so you
    will get those too (some are yet to be enabled though).

    So far, so good. Maybe it's faster. It said it was optimizing for a
    while. I did have to run the installer as admin. In my user account, the installer said I had to validate my one and only drive, so I switched to admin for the install, and that worked. Maybe I did this routine last
    time. I forget. It was a year ago.
    Other than that, everything seems the same. Maybe, I ought to read up on
    the benefits. slrn 1.0.2 works, obviously. Nothing appears broken.

    I've got a late 2014 iMac so my system doesn't support upgrading to
    Monterey.

    Interestingly, though, it runs just fine in a VM on my system (and I'm
    still using Parallels v15 which predates Big Sur -- the current version
    is 17). The "about this Mac" box in the parallels VM still reports a
    late 2014 iMac.
