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.

I ran the beta over the summer and it was awful. I loved the changes but it was just unstable as hell. And people kept saying it was the most stable is yet, I don’t get it.

Unstable in what way?

Having to restart every day. CPU was also pretty much pegged nonstop when in clamshell and connected to two monitors. Catalina doesn't do that.

Thats strange, I run 2 34" displays from mine and haven't seen that. Did you upgrade or clean install?

Must be an absolute nightmare trying to handle every possible configuration someones Mac could be in. I dont envy the devs.
