Currently running my iMac Retina 2019 on Monterey 12.7.6. Happy with the way it operates but considering upgrading.
Can I update to Sonoma directly from Monterey skipping over Ventura entirely?
What are the advantages of Sonoma over Monterey or even Ventura. Any disadvantages?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13
Ventura features: macOS Ventura brings powerful productivity tools, new Continuity features to Mac - Apple
Sonoma features: macOS Sonoma brings new capabilities for elevating productivity and creativity - Apple
Sequoia features: macOS Sequoia - Apple
In addition to features, there are security reasons to upgrade. See: Apple security releases - Apple Support
You can upgrade directly to any of the above. Personally I would upgrade to the current Sequoia.
Be sure to have a current backup (recommended even when not upgrading).
