OS X El Capitan now available for download

01 October, 2015
Apple has released the final version of OS X El Capitan on the Mac App Store. Those with compatible machines, that would be most Macs sold in recent years, should head over to the store and download the free update, which is just over 6GB in size. The default and simplest method is to just update your existing OS X installation but you could do a fresh install by extracting the installation file, burning it to a USB drive, and booting from it.

If you can't (just an example) install Ravefinity icons and themes on it, it's not THAT good looking. :-)

      Objectively the best desktop OS. Windows 10 looks and feels extremely dated and ugly compared to El Capitan. Yosemite is already the most visually appealing OS. And it only gets so much better performance-wise with El Capitan.
