Is it safe to upgrade from Ventura to Sonoma?

Post by Kenny B »

Hi, I'm running MacOS 13.6.1 and everything is running peachy-king with no crashes. I know that we have Sonoma now at 14.2.1 and I've waited to do this transition because I basically don't want to experience bugs or problems with compatibility.

Now I'm thinking I should go forward. So my question, is there any issues with DP 11.3 that I should be aware of before making the move?

If you are using Adobe Acrobat Pro, I cannot recommend upgrading to Sonoma.

There’s a file saving issue that comes and goes in Adobe Premiere Elements and DP but I’m not convinced that it is a Sonoma issue since it’s been around for years in DP for some users.

Mike, what is that issue specifically? I've been considering the upgrade from Big Sur.
