Can you still use macOS Catalina in 2025?
macOS Catalina is a significant version of the OS to some degree, dropping 32-bit application support, splitting up iTunes, and being the last version of macOS to use the 10 version number. Released in 2019, it was somehow discontinued in 2022 and nobody really cared. So how usable is it in 2025? Honestly that's up to some of the software bulk and what you can install and run/play on macOS Catalina.
That's a good question, I hope you enjoy this video despite its shortcomings. Honestly this video was broken from the start, and I had to salvage something. I'll have something both shorter and better next week.
This is a shortened reupload, before this video was released I had to cut a segment out late at night due to some issues with some commentary.
I think this is the first time I had to modify the timestamps due to a reupload since the brief early 2024 stint:
0:00 - Introduction
0:37 - Context
4:12 - Mac of choice
4:39 - Some pre-loaded programs
6:13 - Third-party program support
8:31 - Gaming
10:14 - Conclusion
