MacOS Sonoma

Let’s see how install this new macOS and after reading below article you’ll be able to decide you should install macOS or not.
Because of Apple Developer program , since this time Apple have opened it’s gate for normal user also, apart from Apple developers , who can easily install this OS earlier , this was not the case , you have you to paid member (almost $99) but this time you can install by using you Apple ID only. They no need to wait for public beta version.
Let’s see you should install or not?
If you are an Apple user then you might be aware of that Beta version is not complete version. it’s an incomplete version might be buggy. have some bugs like after installation some apps or features stopped working or they might need some other software also. So I would always say that whenever you try to install beta version take backup of you data or if possible try to install in you older laptops which you are not using.
Testing from Developer and User
This version is mostly for the developers to test company’s software and find out the bugs so that company can improve it. But this time it’s made available for user so i think now company want to get user testing results so that it can be improved in it’s stable version which will make it’s software more reliable. Even though user gets issue then company easily can say that it’s beta version not stable one.
