![]() … While I expected some 3rd party software to crash with an M1, it's A TOTAL SCREWUP for an OS to allow constant hard crashes irrespective of the reason. The point is that if the system passes the test, then one knows, unequivocally, that there is some third-party software at fault. It’s a test, not a stipulation on how one should run their system, in general. I'm sorry but a Mac without any 3rd party software is what mort people call **useless**. In fact, this is almost the only reason for upgrades!) Upgrade can, and often do, have incompatible OS changes.Updates can only have compatible OS changes.Note: the distinction between OS updates vs. (Really, no one should ever upgrade their OS without checking the compatibility of their software and add-on hardware, for the new OS. ![]() This difficulty is in tracking down the culprit. That’s why, unless there is a Hardware failure, we already know that there must be an issue with some third-party software. ![]() Both the OS and the Hardware have already passed this test-repeatedly. Not coincidentally, this is exactly the principle test that is repeated most often for new Hardware and new OSs! That’s why a clean install test is the ultimate test of whether any issue is due to the Hardware-OS combination. Nonetheless, drivers are, typically, specific to an OS! A Catalina driver is highly likely to have trouble on Big Sur (and vise versa). Hence, drivers are required to be particularly well written. While the Operating System (OS) does try to provide some “segregation” of drivers, of various kinds, from the kernel, drivers are one of the principle “weak links” for any OS: they often link at a rather low level. It is a big Apple screwup.Įven if that were demonstrably the case, there are more than just «KEXTS» that can affect the kernel level. ![]() … In my case, all the KEXTS belong to Apple. What’s at the User Interface (UI) level is, all too often, only the “tip of the iceberg”, so to speak. All to often, they come with a host of system, users, and other modifications. However, not all “apps” are strictly Apps. ![]() …īy Apps, you are quite correct, since they can do nothing down at the Kernel level. An OS should not be that easy (impossible?) to crash by any apps. ![]()
