It’s fine. Mostly a minor update.
The main thing I like about it is Siri is smarter and lets me control HomeKit items now - i.e. Siri turn on my desk lamp.

Have a problem with my MacBook Pro, doesn’t recognize my WiFi hardware. Reinstalled over internet via same WiFi and it did not fix the problem. Running slow too but that may be because there is no network. Next I will update my time machine backup and try a clean install. Everything was working with high Sierra.

I updated my current model iMac with no problems so far. I like that they ported over the news and stock apps from iOS. The App Store is redesigned but I haven’t paid much attention yet. There’s a safari update as well that’s available separately.

It hasn't even been pushed to my machine yet.

Depending on your machine you may never get the push.

While macOS High Sierra was available for some machines manufactured as early as 2009, macOS Mojave is largely limited to 2012 or newer machines, with the exception of some Mac Pro models. Here's a full list:
MacBook (Early 2015 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2012 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 or newer)
Mac mini (Late 2012 or newer)
iMac (Late 2012 or newer)
iMac Pro (2017)
Mac Pro (Late 2013, plus mid 2010 and mid 2012 models with recommended Metal-capable GPU)
As you can see, compared to High Sierra, the update drops support for the older plastic MacBooks, and MacBook Pro, Air, mini, and iMac models from 2009, 2010, and 2011.
I'll do it soon, but I never like to move to a new OS until the X.1 release comes out, just so I can get the benefit of the first round of bug fixes.

I updated my 2016 iMac when Mojave was made available. It hung at the point where it was setting up iCloud but a hard reset (hold the power button down until shutoff and restart) resumed the installation successfully.
I was interested in trying out Mojave to make sure it didn’t cause problems with Parallels, which I run alongside MacOS in order to use Quicken for Windows. So far, so good.
Mojave is OK but Dashboard disappeared after install. You can re-enable in System Preferences.

Nope, my Macbook Pro isn't supported with this OS update. It'll probably be my first and last Apple computer. I've gotten good use out of it, but it's the only non-Linux machine in the house.

Back in my IT days of big IBM mainframes our philosophy was to always be six months of one release behind. Let others experience the bleeding edge of tech. It worked very well. Today, with so many security issues being 6 months behind on updates is just plain foolish (I'm looking at you Equifax.)
I'll update my Mac in about a month just to let the obvious faults and fixes work their way through the system. My old iMac won't run Mojave so I will leave it be for now. A new SSD drive has knocked at least 5 years off her age, so I can wait for the big iMac update that will coming any day now. Right??

I'll probably wait until the .1 release.

Thanks. Mine is a 2016 MacBook Pro, so that explains it.
Doing a clean install fixed my problems.

Mojave shows up as a banner ad when I go to the Apple store. I don't think that is the same thing as getting a push to install
My iMac was purchased in 2014 so it should be compatible, but I'll probably wait a bit longer to see if an .1 rev comes out.

The first beta version of the .1 update came out a few days ago, so it should be in final release within a couple of weeks. I think I can wait that long.

I also just noticed that the last three apps used show up in the right side of the dock. This can be turned off, but I think I like it.

Thanks for the info. I have a late 2013 iMac and mid 2014 MacBook Pro. I don't have Mojave listed as an update on either. I guess I'll just wait.
