![]() In Monterey, you can go one step further with Universal Control. You can also use your iPad as a second display or graphics tablet on your Mac. In Big Sur, you can ‘handoff’ apps between Mac and iOS devices, and you can use your iPhone or iPad camera to add images or scan documents directly to Mac apps. ![]() You can also ‘mention’ people in apps and add tags to notes in the Notes app. The note will display a thumbnail of the web page and be stored in a special Quick Notes section in the Notes app. For example, you can create a Quick Note from a website in Safari. Quick Notes allow you to add notes to the Notes app from lots of different applications. Notes was another app that has been upgraded significantly recently, but it gets another big new feature in Monterey. You can now hold watch and listening parties, invite friends who don’t have an Apple device, and use gallery and portrait modes to see more people on screen or blur your background. Instead of competing with Zoom and Teams by adding features for business, however, these new additions are all about social fun. This time, it’s FaceTime’s turn with new features to make group calls more fun. In Big Sur, Messages got a big upgrade with lots of new features. And a new Focus mode acts in a similar way to Do Not Disturb, allowing you to turn off some notifications to concentrate on work. Control Center now shows you when your microphone is in use and which apps have access to it. So it’s no surprise that the changes in Monterey are much more modest. The Finder and Dock, as well as the user interface, got significant overhauls in Big Sur. Maintenance makes it easy to run maintenance scripts, reindex Spotlight, and free up RAM. The Optimization module performs tasks like quitting applications that have hung or are using lots of resources and allows you to easily remove launch agents that might be slowing down your Mac. Don’t worry, it’s not as complicated as it sounds! There is a really easy way to do both, using CleanMyMac X’s Optimization and Maintenance modules. If you’re concerned about how well Monterey will run on your Mac, you should do some maintenance and optimize its performance before installing the new OS. MacBook Pro and MacBook Air 2013 and laterĪs you can see, MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs from 2013 have dropped off the list of supported Macs for Monterey, as has the 2014 iMac and the 2015 MacBook. ![]() In the table below, you can see the Macs compatible with each of Monterey and Big Sur. Inevitably, there have been changes to the list of Macs that are compatible with the newest version of the operating system, as there are with every release. In this article, we’ll look at the two operating systems and give you the lowdown on how they compare. If you’ve heard all about the new version of macOS, Monterey, you might be wondering how it compares with its predecessor, macOS Big Sur. It runs maintenance scripts, optimizes your storage, and speeds up your Mac.įeatures described in this article refer to the MacPaw site version of CleanMyMac X. I think it's possible to use OpenCore to inject a modified kext? Right now I'm just running with SIP disabled (which I'd like to avoid if possible), and it just loads the modified kext. I'd really like to know more about if it's possible to modify the PowerPlay tables via OpenCore, so I could bring that "fan fix" across to later version of macOS.So, here’s a tip: Download a free version of CleanMyMac X - it’s notarized by Apple on macOS Monterey. I would like to update to Big Sur or later, but I've always been confused about how kext's were handled in those OS's. I could post my modified kext if that helps you figure anything out at least. I cannot remember exactly which threshold I selected to make that work. VGTab has a fan curve editor and I think I just lowered the threshold and the fan stop behavior was eliminated. I'm still on Catalina as my trick to get the card not to overheat is to use VGTab, and basically play with the power play tables. ![]() It's a blower style card, and does not feature a fan stop mode (I confirmed this by running it in Windows and the fan never turns off), but in macOS until I really push the GPU it doesn't spin the fan up at all. I've had a similar issue on my MSI Airboost Vega 56. ![]()
