My 2017 iMac came with Mojave. I changed to Monterey when some software, especially TurboTax, would no longer run on Mojave. I’ve gotten used to the differences such as the change from iTunes to Monterey equivalents but my iMac does seem a bit slower under Monterey sadly.
Now I’m getting update suggestions to go to Ventura. I’m asking folks here what I might expect to see that’s better than Monterey, and what might be worse on my iMac. I don’t envision changing out the iMac anytime soon…I really, really like the 27” all-in-one physical format. Just to set the environment, my iMac has 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Intel 4.2GHz i7 “Kaby Lake” processor, AMD Radeon Pro 580 with 8GB VRAM, and is Ethernet connected to my home’s 300mbps synchronous Internet service. I have three external hard drives for file storage and TimeMachine backups, one is 4TB and two others are 8TB each.
So for my hunk of hardware, what would Ventura add and what might I regret?
Thanks for any input.
