What an adventure …
They let me upgrade directly from Mojave (AKA 10.14) to Sonoma (AKA 14).
Until 2021 I was pretty much always pretty uptodate on my Macs and on my Synology DiskStations. But then a few young fools frightened me, and I got stuck for ages with outdated OS versions.
I finally had to upgrade my MacBook Pro, as a few essential packages do not run any longer resp. got announced to stop running soon:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhatsApp
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(software)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome
- …
At least I do not have to expect upgrade disasters as with Linux in the 199x and 200x. But still … – with macOS at one stage file systems other than /users were read only “by OS”, even sudo did not help any longer. How terrible that was.
Right now I am only downloading the upgrade to Sonoma. I will find out, how the other upgrades work out!
