    What MacOs version can be named as golden era (and also still usable)?

    Mac Studio multi display management: Rinse and repeat 10+ times a day

The module or whatever you want to call it, in macOS, detects the connected displays. In some cases, two or more of the displays are the same brand, model and year, because...
