It’s been a strict improvement on my computers, which isn’t to say that the author isn’t having problems, just that theirs (or mine!) isn’t the universal experience.
And they’ve finally fixed some annoying, long-endured audio bugs: <a href="https://weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2026/09/24/macos-27-fixes-multiple-audio-bugs/" rel="nofollow">https://weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2026/09/24/macos-27-fixes-mul...
They surely fixed a lot of bugs, but not enough, and they added so many new stupid ones. Mission Control wasn't perfect before, but at least it wasn't buggy. Now there is a bug every two clicks.
Even double-clicking in Finder is broken, many times double-clicks are just ignored.
Occasionally drag'n'drop failures —where it just stops working— I experienced already with Yosemite, so it may be a VERY old bug. :) Usually you would see "CoreDragError" codes popping up in the system.log
Rather than rebooting, I just kill "pboard" in Activity Monitor, and afterwards restart a few GUI programs that were directly affected (including Finder and Dock.)
My wild theory is that Firefox is the culprit. At least the issues happened more frequently once I had to switch to Firefox for proper content blocking extensions. Anyway… I have no idea how to prove that, so it's just a guess, not a blame.
Well, I've been sitting on Sequoia this whole time, because I decided to sit Tahoe out, based on what I heard on HN. Maybe I'll sit Golden Gate out too!
I’m going to express what seems to be an unpopular opinion and say that I actually quite like Liquid Glass. It reminds me a bit of the Aqua design language, which made me quite envious back when I was using Win98SE.
Many people have complained about how hard it is to find a safe place to grab windows in Tahoe when you want to move them, though, and I absolutely agree with that complaint.
Same here: 15.8. I'm still running Intel Macs.
Homebrew is out, Macports are in. Xcode 26.3.
Everything else works just fine with a bit of patching (e.g Vagrant).
