Catalina is checking notarization of unsigned executables

I guess the list of things keeping me off catalina (and, by extension, new Mac hardware) just got one item longer.

I recently bought a new System76 laptop as a stopgap, but it might end up becoming permanent. Kind of a sad end for 25+ years of Mac use.

I upgraded my 2015 MBP 13" to Catalina and happily continue to Mac stint since 2006.

What does df -h in the terminal say?

It'll show the total of each partition (the normal, and the new read-only system partition) on their own line, thereby giving a false total. e.g. 1x 100GB disk, 50GB normal, 50GB system partition will show as capacity 100GB for both partitions which would mean a 200GB disk.

Small things like this just make me completely lose faith in Catalina.

EDIT: Other "fun" things I noticed within half an hour:

a. Text search in PDF no longer works

b. I can't create anything under /

c. I have to use synthetic.conf to map paths from / to my real partition, but the parser of synthetic.conf is very particular to tabs/spaces unlike any other /etc/ file format

d. Xcode wants to ask for my password to debug every single time I reboot and debug a C++ app. This is incredibly incredibly incredibly incredibly annoying.

Safari is faster in general use. But that's so far the only good point.

I'll keep it on a SSD for App Store submissions and keep my machine on an older decent version thanks
