You should never, ever, install a MacOS update the moment it comes out. There is a high chance (> 30% from my experience) that something will be wrong with it. iOS too for that matter.

Wait for at least one week and check out other people's experiences first.

This applies to every Mac, with or without an update.

Not only Macs. “There is a high chance that something will be wrong with it” applies to almost all software of the size of modern OSes.

Yes, Windows 10 forced updates have broken so many things for me.
