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.

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.
