| Safari can't be upgraded past a certain point on older versions of macOS. That can cause certain websites to break. Minor but annoying. |

| But you cannot, in general, migrate your data backwards. Apple's system apps will upgrade their data stores forward only. This isn't a problem if you are willing to e.g. re-download all of your (Mail.app) mail. |

| ▲ | valleyer 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yep, that's a great workaround, as long as you have third-party apps you're happy with. |

| ▲ | xoa 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Yep, though you can mitigate it a little bit in various ways. For one weird example, I keep my main user Home folder on my NAS and mount it via iSCSI. Mostly that's for data integrity/size/backup purposes, but it does also make it free to snapshot before trying out a system upgrade. If I hate it I can rollback my entire set of user data along with the OS. Though amongst many other wonderful things lost in the mysts of Mac history I still desperately miss NetBoot/NetInstall and ultra easy clone/boot with something like CCC and TDM. It's so fucking miserable now in comparison to do reinstalls/testing/restores. | |
