![]() Now you’ll have to get it from elsewhere. I’d appreciate any comments/suggestions/answers to my question that anyone has, as well as things I need to pay attention to.įor some reason, I’m somewhat apprehensive about this upgrade, primarily because it would be a real hassle to reinstall printers, browsers, antivirus, and other programs.ĭrBonzo, I can tell you just one thing for sure that may be relevant to your situation: I upgraded without any problems from “Sierra” to “Mojave” (skipping “High Sierra”), when “Mojave” was still the latest version of macOS and so being offered in “System Preferences/Software Updates” (with the icon that looks like grey gears). I will, of course, have a backup from Time Machine before I start anything. Am I really looking at an overnight upgrade?Īt the moment those are my main questions. I think it took about 1.5 hours to upgrade from Sierra to High Sierra and a typical ‘point-update’ takes about an hour. I’ve read a bit on the Apple support site about upgrading to Mojave and to Catalina, and they suggest starting the upgrade in the evening so that it can run overnight if it needs to!! That seems like a very long time and although the internet connection and electrical power is pretty stable, it’s certainly within the realm of possibility that either or both could fail even if only very briefly. The current major user of this computer is highly reliant on two installed printers and a bunch (maybe 20 to 30?) of programs. I did that when the machine was only a month old and hardly any programs and no printers had been installed. I’m assuming that at least in principle all the current programs and printers will get carried over to the new Mojave installation? The only other major macOS upgrade I’ve ever done was on this computer going from Sierra to High Sierra. But, the icon has been there for at least several months (I’m not the primary user of this computer, all I do is keep it updated), so I’m wondering if I’ll get the latest version of Mojave, or if you will, the latest up-to-date version of it? I’m assuming that clicking on this is an easy way to install Mojave. When I open the Launchpad I see an icon entitled ‘Install macOS Mojave’. There are some 32 bit programs on this machine that I don’t think Catalina or higher will run, and I’ve also not been terribly impressed with what I’ve heard about Catalina. VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VS Code.Sometime in the next few weeks – before Big Sur comes out and High Sierra is no longer supported – I’ll be upgrading an iMAC from High Sierra to Mojave. If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. Therefore, you generate a “clean” build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license ![]() When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and then produce a build that we release under our license. When we build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. ![]() According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code maintainer: Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking.
