Does Blender 2.9 work well on 16" MacBook Pro

Does anyone have experience using Blender under Catalina on the 16" MBP? I'm finding that the Sculpt tools only work intermittently, for example. I've just started with this and don't want to continue only to find that many functions are broken on the Mac OS version.

Thanks,

MH Brown

How to get Final Cut 10.4.2 working after installing and then deleting 10.4.6 trial version? So I 100% need this particular Macbook to stay on Mojave and had been using Final Cut 10.4.2 without issue. Then I found an installer I'd saved for the trial of Final Cut 10.4.6 and installed it, leaving two versions of FCP on the computer. For reasons too boring to explain, after a day, I decided to delete the trial of 10.4.6 and just stick with 10.4.2, but suddenly that has become unusable. Whenever I click on "import media", even with a brand new project, the app crashes. Any ideas on how I can get 10.4.2 working again? Thanks in advance for your help, and even if you see that someone else has answered this, please know that I'd appreciate your input, as well.

iMac14,1 Mojave to Catalina - potential issues? My 2013 21.5" iMac14,1 is currently running Mojave (10.15.5), and it has indeed had a LOT of lag issues with most applications already since its upgrade from the previous OS. (Ex: mostAdobe and MS applications take FOREVER just to open, lots of internet sluggishness, etc.) Won't upgrading from Mojave to Catalina potentially paralyze my whole Mac?

You probably won't find here the best answer to this. In here we talk most of Apple products and services, you know.

I'd advise you to go to the developer's forum or some specialized forum in order to find more precise information.

I ran it on my macbook air and found that it worked quite well at first. However, rendering takes forever and the app caused a few kernel panics.
