Users of macos Ventura - what is your experience so far using it?
With the support of MacOS Ventura likely ending this year, what can be done with an old MacBook Pro 2017?
macOS Ventura RC is out!
Soooo. Can anyone let me know if it feels stable after a few hours with it? I'm almost ready to make the jump.

As title says, I am interesed in:
-
battery life (drainage issues),
-
performance,
-
bugs / lags etc.
As far as I know there are four options available:
-
continue using the old unsupported MacOS,
-
downloading a newer MacOS through Open Core Legacy Patcher,
-
downloading Linux,
-
and working on the MacBook through a Virtual Machine.
However…
-
I have read that using an old MacOS is unsafe (Is it really if you just browse reputable sites through FireFox and only download items from reputable sources?),
-
I don’t know if OCLP is compatible with real software (apps from AppStore or from a recognized 3rd party like AutoCAD),
-
there are issues with Linux lacking drivers for newer Macs and non existent power management,
-
and what is the performance like working on a Mac through a VM?
The hardware still works and the battery health is Normal, so I don’t feel like there’s a reason to upgrade.
