What I have noticed is that on my keyboard (UK English), Mojave has flipped the mapping of #/£. On High Sierra, Alt-3 would give # and Shift-3 would give £. Now, it's the other way around. .

Go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and make sure only British is on the list. (UK English is not a keyboard name, so you may for some reason now have the wrong one in the prefs that actually determine mappings)
 
Not quite. Ubuntu is based on a Linux distribution called Debian.

It looks the same in the sense that Ubuntu has long been a UI clone of macOS. An ugly one at that. ;)

No because out of the box Ubuntu still uses a plain ugly typeface and lacks any of the visual flair and sophistication of macOS.
And I say that typing on an Ubuntu machine.

They are both Unix-like, but only macOS is derived from Berkley Standard Distribution (and the original Bell Labs/AT&T Unix).
Ubuntu is derived from Linux. Darwin is a hybrid kernel, Linux is monolithic.

Would it be more accurate to say that Ubuntu resembles macOS?

I want to try it without buggering my system. Is there a way to do it or do I need to install some VM software? I don't want to install it over Sierra.
You can easily create a new volume on your APFS boot drive without even partitioning the drive. You don't even need to allocate space. My Install is taking up like 25 GBs on my 250 High Sierra SSD. You don't even need to create a boot stick as you can just select the other volume to install it on through the installer app and it will boot into the other volume.

I'll never understand how other OSes can't figure out fonts. Even Windows 10 still looks dreadful to read the web on.
 
ClearType + font choice through your favorite browser. You can force use Helvetica on all sites regardless of their CSS if you wanted to.
 
Apparently there's some sort of new romanized text input for Japanese, but the Apple website doesn't provide much in the way of meaningful detail on it. Would anyone be able to check it out and provide a little more in-depth info?

I'm also curious about this. People normally type roman text to generate kana/kanji text, that can't be new. Perhaps something to type "romanized japanese"? Does anyone need that?
 
High Sierra removed the option in System Preferences to allow installation of applications not from Mac App Store. However you could get it back via a Terminal command. What is the status of this in Mojave, removed completely?

Oh, I meant the third option "Anywhere". Was there in Sierra, but removed in High Sierra, perhaps that's why you don't see it. I suppose right-click works for identified developers apps, not sure if it did for "anywhere" apps in HS.

App Store
App Store and identified developers
Anywhere

Edit: maybe I was wrong and they changed it already in Sierra. This is the Terminal command I wonder still works: http://osxdaily.com/2016/09/27/allow-apps-from-anywhere-macos-gatekeeper/

haven't done it in a while (am sure you can google this), but in HS, you can control-click on an unrecognized installer, and chose to open it.

I was thinking maybe they changed this in Mojave to not allow unrecognized apps even with right-click or Terminal.

so... have they done that? (am still on HS, waiting for the public beta). am sure there would be a workaround, i have several apps (mostly logic plugins), that are not recognized...

No, not sure, I don't have Mojave myself so I can't test. I was wondering if they have, since they gradually changed and removed the option in the past.

I installed Mojave beta on an installation of HS that had this enabled. Anywhere option stayed, didn't have to do anything about it. I'm sure the Terminal command still works too.

But keep in mind that for some reason there the Mojave DB1 comes with a very old Gatekeeper, so we don't really know what they intend to do with it.

It might be better to wait for the next few versions.

I'm really wondering why Apple doesn't just extend their current Gatekeeper logic to Safari extensions, instead of just disabling extensions outside of the App Store/extension gallery completely.

Why not have extensions from outside of these sources be unable to install themselves per default, but give the user the option somewhere in the preferences to also install extensions from elsewhere, just like with Gatekeeper? Seems like a much superior way of handling it than to just nuke all extensions from outside these sources completely – that way, they would have the added security they're going for while simultaneously providing the option for power users to use their useful extensions from oftentimes lesser-known, smaller developers that cannot or don't want to pay Apple's yearly developer fee.

Tested it and it's still working.

Here's the command to run if anyone is looking for it:
Code:
sudo spctl --master-disable

In the Wi-fi network list, you can now choose which networks you wish it to connect to automatically.

Does someone know if continuity camera works only with iOS12? Cant see this option with 11.3.1 & Mojave.
 
Beta 2 seems to have resolved the issue of Messages not showing the name if the phone number is NOT set up as "iPhone" in contacts. Now Messages is showing the names for everyone again.
 
Volume slider on the screen seems to be slightly darker than before. Safari can’t remember logins anymore. So have to relogin everytime I quit and reopen websites. Tried on gmail, hotmail etc and everytime you have to login again.
