This was supposed to be wiki post, but I can't find the button to enable that. If someone can point me to it please
Thanks for the reply, but if you mean the cogwheel on at the top of the created post, it doesn't contain the option. Can't find any cogwheel when going into creating a new post.Next to the thread options like "Un/Watch thread" and such, there's a cogwheel that rolls out to give you options to turn it into a WikiPost.
There is an easy way to refute this claim. Fire off 8 GB worth of pictures (RAW) with your camera (a real camera), then import to Adobe Bridge (or any similar app). Notice the speed with which images are processed, and keep an eye at the activity monitor.
In the activity monitor, you will see how Cached Files is being increased as you import. Now, exactly at the point where your RAM is used up, Cached Files are not dropped, but the OS starts to ”compress” memory and swap. Import of images now slows to a crawl.
Linux doesn't do that. It kills off any cache before using swap or disk related processes. The way it should be. But the way MacOS doesn't handle it. It prefers to keep absolutely worthless cache in memory and slow down your system.
Intelligent spotlight indexing performed when the user is idle, and certainly not at startup.
Remove all the bloat from iTunes, and gut that horrendous UI from iTunes 12. And add some color back in. (And did they fix the audiobook bug, where books gets duplicated in the UI?)
I am confident that project Marzipan opens the door for Apple to port the media apps of iOS to macOS.
I think for many reasons iTunes is right way too.I certainly don't want the iOS Music player. I want proper iTunes again.
You must be crazy. The "cloud" is usually a server in a datacenter controlled by another company.iCloud remote storage only mode. Option to have files in the cloud only without local file syncing.
AMEN!

No thanks!!!
Touchscreen interface. We’ve had icons and mice for over three decades now. iOS has trained us to use the best pointer in the world, the one attached to our hands. It’s time to stop pretending that trackpads and mice are the only way to manipulate data on a Mac.
1. Really modern memory management (as in Linux), where the OS always discards cached files before swapping or compressing. This will be of great benefit to those low on RAM (which is most people). Also discarding stale cached files after a certain time. Restarting daemons after a while, since they constantly grow RAM.
If they call it Death Valley, that would be amazing.
4GB ram or 2GB ram with no lag. OSX 4 GB ram..uber lagSeriously haven’t used Linux lately if you think it’s ram/disk cache usage is better than Darwin.
Any I/O load drops Linux to its knees.

2. Bloat control, where you can disable services and daemons you never ever use. top reveals that MacOS currently uses 415 processes, including such exotic features as AppleSpell, backup-helper, cloudpaird, commerce, gamecontrollerd, photoanalysisd, Photos Agent and videosubscriptiond.

4. Full support of HEIF/HEIC. What is the point of HEIC if Safari can't handle it?
5. UI customization for menus, buttons etc., so that native 4K (and even 8K) experience becomes better. Some of us really need massive screen estate.
6. An app to handle Iphone (as in older Itunes), including updates. If not, I don’t see why my next phone won’t be a Xiaomi.
1. Low power mode.
2. Control centre like we have had in ios for years now.
3. More customization options like being able to remove drop-down shadows from windows, menus etc.
4. UI overhaul - remove boxes around widgets. It's fugly.
5. Performance improvements - work on optimizing apps launch and boot/reboot/shutdown times. This is lagging behind windows 10 imo.
6. Windows snap feature - windows have had it for years since w7. macos could use an improvement in this area.
And a salton sea!I humbly propose the following California-themed names for 10.15:
San Andreas
San Quentin
Alcatraz
Northridge
Oroville Dam
Chatsworth
Santa Monica Fwy
The 405
Skid Row
La Brea Tar Pits
Tujunga
City of Industry
Gray Davis
You're welcome.
Carry on...
