Hi folks,
I will prepare a PR to shorten the macOS Download page while including
instructions.
This will allow folks who are not macOS users to know the appropriate steps
and help out on the forums.
It is true that nearly all of our users don't need these instructions, but
by putting them only
Yes, exactly my point. We already used the 30 seconds of attention span on
the download page trying to help describe the different options for stable
and what versions og macos is supported.
The user simply need one click to go to the instructions after that one
click needed to open the
Hi,
Well guys like me could help with things like that if we would have the
info required. Which is exactly why i requested documentation on the
download page. When the questions were made i looked at the download
page and there is nothing (there is also no place in the docu that

Sorry forgot to add this. There seem to be some problems for some users
on Catalina. I am not sure if what got suggested on the forum [1] is the
