Is It Alright to Update to Catalina?

[issmaz]

Hi everyone, first at all sorry for my bad English. I have a question. I followed the tutorial to install Mojave with the same component in the tonymacx86 tutorial, and I want to know if it is safe to update to Catalina for macOS because everyday I got the pop up "install now" for Catalina. Thank you for your answer,

@issmaz,
I'd wait for a stable version of Catalina, like 10.15.3, when all the major bugs are worked out and corrected.

Additionally, Catalina does not run 32bit applications. So, you'll need to update all your 32bit apps before you update. See this article for more information:

Go64 quickly scans your internal drive for 32-bit applications that wonu2019t be compatible after installing macOS Catalina and helps find potential upgrades to keep software working.

Or you can do a fresh install of Catalina 10.15.3 and reinstall your applications that have 64bit compatibility. In this case, you might be better off than updating your Mojave installation with Catalina.
