    The final release of 27 still has so many bugs.

    It's depressing to see certain bugs persist in each new beta. You know they'll be in release.

    I gave up reporting anything years ago.

      I really can't believe how bad it's gotten. I know people on here have been complaining about the direction of macOS for years but in the last few years it increasingly feels like I'm being punished for using my computer.

      A bicycle for your mind with squeaking brakes and a skipping chain.

        I jumped to mac with Tiger when they started using x86. Around 2006 I believe. It was always to become more comfortable with POSIX, but I liked it and have stayed. My current laptop is a 2019 MBP and as they are now phasing out Intel support I'm now buying a thinkpad and finally moving on to Linux. Macos has just become too annoying, and macs too expensive.

          Try Omarchy, you might enjoy it and to my knowledge everything should work out of the box.

            :) I'm not trying omarchy. I'll probably go with Fedora or NixOS.

        It's not a bicycle for your mind, it's a railbike draisine that only goes on the rails that Apple allows you to use.

          I know that you're joking and that I'm late to reply but honestly thinking about the care and planning that has to go into laying railroad tracks and the efficiency of adhesion traction, I would kill for computer that came close to what I imagine using a railbike feels like (a long time dream of mine). Imagine if someone put that much thought into Finder (or Apple Music).

          I'm only allowed either Windows or Mac at work so I'll just get less and less efficient until I'm replaced by an LLM.
