@sysop408 @davidtoddmccarty The best part is when you update from 26.0.1 to 26.1 and the update bricks your Mac Studio so that you have to wipe it completely (Revive didn't do it) and spend the better part of two days restoring from backup (my backup system is the best money I've spent in a very long time), and you also discover how handy it is to also own a MacBook which you hadn't updated yet so you can do the Restore without sending the Mac Studio to Apple.
On the plus side, it's an opportunity to not install all those apps you never use anymore ...
