I bought a new Macbook recently which run Catalina (OS X 10.15) which is basically no different to OS X 10.11 or 10.10 – the only difference is that it slows your computer down if you are on an older model. Since Steve Jobs died innovation at Apple basically stopped; all the new devices is just the same as before but maybe with an extra camera or a bit more RAM or a faster CPU. The laptop that I bought is no exception compared to the Macbook Air that I bought 8 years ago.
I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 which requires Java 6 SE; it’s supposed to be an older version of JAVA but it actually does the job; but the JAVA downgrade that Apple offers doesn’t work for Catalina (10.15) – https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US; it should but they just deliberately made it so it doesn’t.
I found a great post online on how to fix this:-
