I am and although stuff works it seems buggy to me. I wouldn’t advise upgrading.

I have a testing system running High Sierra.
I'm usually quite liberal in recommending updates as long as I know what hardware and software that is being used.
This time I would really wait at least until subversion dot-two. There are many bugs, related to the latest filesystem change, that can bite you in the ass if you are not aware.

Keep getting the damn notification... Can't you switch notifications off? I never get them. I personally wouldn't change a system that is running solid. Unless you need some plugins that don't work with that system anymore. And I mean unless you really really really need those plugins. Need to have vs. nice to have. |

I never get the notifications, either. FWIW. On Sierra...not as high as I'd like to be, Bob.
it's not like iOS....where....holy fuckshit, I feel like they time those "Install new iOS?" messages to happen at the worst times. I never get them while I'm sitting around watching TV orsomething--I'm always in a line needing to pulls something up on my phone....or using it as GPS and almost missing my turn to decline....

Didn't I read that there was some massive hole in the backend that allowed hackers to enter without password gens, they simply could come in the front door. Not sure if that's true, but until people say its solid I'm not going down that road.

Another reason to stay put! Basically anyone can login as root with a blank password. Here's Apple's statement We are working on a software update to address this issue. In the meantime, setting a root password prevents unauthorized access to your Mac. To enable the Root User and set a password, please follow the instructions here. If a Root User is already enabled, to ensure a blank password is not set, please follow the instructions from the ‘Change the root password’ section. Follow this procedure to change the root password: - Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups (or Accounts).
- Click the lock icon, then enter an administrator name and password.
- Click Login Options.
- Click Join (or Edit).
- Click Open Directory Utility.
- Click the lock icon in the Directory Utility window, then enter an administrator name and password.
- From the menu bar in Directory Utility, choose Edit > Change Root Password…
- Enter a root password when prompted.

I find a number of things odd with HS: my logic session main drop downs are very slow to appear and function, email screens regularly open in a very small window when I have changed no settings: it’s just frustrating.

Not sure if that's true, but until people say its solid I'm not going down that road. It is a problem, but it does require the hacker to have physical access to your system or be remotely logged in. |

You can actually recreate this via screen sharing which many users have enabled. |

My experience has been that OS upgrades this radical (nothing is more radical than a new disk format!) are safest on brand new computers because they have had the deepest testing. I wouldn't be in a hurry.

There's now a patch available via the App store that fixes this anomaly: support.apple.com/en-us/HT208315 |
