Installed it this morning on my 4.0 GHz late 2014 5k iMac. Just over 7 hours uptime so far, and no problems.
Have been getting a few dialogs appear about 32-bit apps that will need to be replaced/removed.

A couple of small thingsā¦ I noticed that Apple has returned to calling the trash can as simply ābinā due to localisation. Also like the translucent bin icon in dark mode.
I noticed they removed all jabber support in messages.
No external safari extensions either.
The dynamic wallpaper seems to be based on Cupertino time at the moment, i.e. full dark mode in the middle of the day.
Are you running Mojave on your primary machine? Iām tempted but itās way more risky than iOS. I guess maybe we should have a new thread for Mojave?
Yep thatās right, what other way to run the beta is there than with the constant fear of having to rebuild your main machine??
I decided to give Mojave a go on my primary machine, holding back a clone of my system just in case I need to wind it back.
So far itās been up for 6 hours, seems to pretty solid, runs smoother than 10.13. Liking dark mode too.
Has anyone gone down the route of installing Mojave on a separate partition.
Thinking this may be a less risky option as I now only own one mac
Virtual Machine, Separate Partition, External boot drive preferably in SSD via thunderbolt.
Iām running it in a VM.
Itās an okay option. Disk Utility does a pretty good job these days adding or resizing a partition.
Then you have two options.
Clone your current setup using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. In-place upgrade the copy. OR go with a fresh install.
Do either of these now work with cloning APFS?
Donāt have firsthand experience of that but SuperDuper! mentioned they support APFS all over the homepage.
Whereās the fun in that?!
I have more than enough of this thing you call āfunā in my life caused by other technology items. If you want some I can send it your way.
Iāve had it installed on my 2013 MBA for about a week.
First install went ok, but I rebooted and the main drive wouldnāt mount (ohshit.jpg). Managed to get the OS reinstalled and came good.
Overall performance isnāt great and thereās some minor little problems Iām seeing, but nothing serious. All apps are working for me except one - the accounting software Iām using.
The support forums for that software has a few posts on the issue, all reporting the same problem (app is slow, unresponsive, missing elements, some things donāt work). No one is complaining as such, but one guy just replies to every post with āYOU INSTALLED BETA SOFTWARE YOU DONāT GET TO MOANā.
That Home thing is awesome! Iām jealous and wish I was clever enough to set something like that up.
No discredit to @gehenna but if you can figure out how to post on a forum like this, you have 99% of the technical skills needed to set up home automation/ āsmartā devices.
HomeKit makes it stupidly easy. Bridging incompatible devices using HomeBridge or Home Assistant is a bit fiddlier but still pretty easy.
I run and external boot drive over thunderbolt.
Works seamlessly.
Only thing Iāve noticed so far is; Trash is now called Bin.
Al
Interestingā¦ will need to investigate. Do I need to do a lot of wiring, or can it be all wireless?
All HomeKit accessories are either wireless or Bluetooth, although some, like Philips Hue need a Hue bridge to work with HomeKit. Links to an Australian site who carries some accessories

And from Apple
Installed the 2nd PB today. MBA is running quite well now; on the first PB it was sluggish and unstable.
