The latest version of Apple's macOS operating system, macOS High Sierra, has been released. If you have upgraded your system already, how did the upgrade go? Did you encounter any problems? If you have not yet updated, why have you chosen not to?

Our fairly powerful Mac Pro tower is missing something required by High Sierra, so it is not upgradable. It's the highest power computer we have in the house, and we have several. Of course all the others run Linux, and when the MacOS on the Mac Pro goes out of security update support, it will move over as well.
We are reconsidering Apple for future computers due to this. It's great hardware, but we can build a great system and run Linux without worrying about the OS not being upgradeable, and do it for less money.

I've heard several years ago that Linux has trouble running reliably on Macs. Is that still true? I'm considering a dual boot transition scenario -- Linux and MacOS. Possibly several Linuxes.
