macOS 27 is going to have some super-refined shit if it stands a chance of making it anywhere near my M2 Air. I made the mistake of updating my M1 mini to Tahoe and my god, it’s shite, but my M2 is still resolutely Sequoia.
Btw, if you’d like, you can downgrade your M1 mini back to sequoia using DFU mode. Keep in mind that you’ll need to wipe it out entirely, so you might want to do a backup first.
To be honest, I don’t physically access the mini all that often. It’s my Home Assistant server, running HAOS via UTM. By and large, it chugs along without fuss. Drops the wifi connection every couple of weeks for no reason I can ascertain, but otherwise it’s pretty solid.
My MacBook is my primary computer. Well, one of them. The others I use are all on various flavours of Linux. Debian for my general purpose home server, Cachy for my gaming PC, Kubuntu at work.
Personally, I’m not massively offended by the Liquid Ass. I’ve got iPadOS 26 on my iPad and it’s fine.
But the huge amount of wasted, blank space in Tahoe is a travesty. Massive radii on window corners for no good reason, causing everything to push in to the window a little further than it, and almost no contrast between elements that just looks cheap and awful.
macOS Tahoe is far from being consistent and refined, remains me of the first days of windows 11.

Sequoia Gang stay the course.

Hopefully it will.

I’ve seen that a lot of people hate macOS Tahoe. According to them, it’s the ‘liquid glass’ design they dislike.

I’m a fan of the glass theme. I’m still going to move to Pop OS eventually, though.
