Just noticed on my new Macbook Air M1 this update is available. Read through it, not much in there that would be of much use to me. That being said is it a good idea to just update as a way to keep my mac updated with any security updates etc going forward.

I updated for the security improvements. I don't think you can use Passkeys without the Ventura update.

Safari 16 supports Passkeys and it's available on Monterey and Big Sur too

For me upgrading already was a big mistake, see other thread. I had to revert to Monterey due to many issues with dev tools.

No, your 2015 iMac is not supported for Ventura. You could go down the OCLP route for unsupported machines, there are dedicated threads here on the topic. Otherwise,'The Eclectic Light Company' offers a couple of free apps - SilentKnight and XProCheck that will help keep security up to date on Monterey.
As to the OP's query, unless there is some feature in Ventura that you can't live without, I'd wait for the .1 update. Give Apple some time to shake the inevitable bugs out.

Will do that, thanks.

This is not necessarily true. Sure, these updates will help show if some of the anti-malware tools are not up to date but it doesn’t account for the fact that Apple doesn’t fully patch older operating systems.

I did the upgrade on my early 2015 MacBook Air using the OCLP route and it works awesome. sleep is an issue but that may fix itself.

Sleep is an issue even on MM M1, at least it was on Monterey.

Hello guys,

I didn't upgrade. Kept my M2 Air at Monterey and it runs flawlessly. I've heard too many bad things about Ventura so I'm just going to tread water while they get all the issues fixed.
