Well, I have reverted to High Sierra OS on my workhorse MacPro 5.1,  for some inexplicable reason it had started crashing while using 'Sound Studio', editing music extracted from a reel to reel tape recorder, has NEVER crashed before in all the time I have had it.  I was dubious about taking it up to Mojave, I had upgraded the video card in order to squeeze a little more performance out of the old girl but I think, given Mojave OS would have been the end of the line, yet only a stepping stone to the Catalina OS I felt it was not a good move.  There are so many restrictions and security safeguards with the latest OS, you can barely use the dammed thing.

I also think it's a good thing to have a clean install occasionally, I just have to download a ton of fresh software now.

I may set all my other Macs on High Sierra too, if only to keep the user interface consistent.

The biggest issue I can see is Apple constantly chivvying me to upgrade to Mojave and Catalina, I wish there was a way of stopping that.
