Tahoe is the first macOS that I don't "get", and its fucking scary. I can stay on Sequoia for another year or so, and then what?

When Tahoe came out, I tried it for a day, liked some of it, hated most of it. I gave it a week. Still hated most of it.

The end of that week I bought a used ThinkPad and installed Arch on it. My future is no longer on the Mac. I have a few years to try and transition, but I am otherwise done with them. Butt ugly uber-rounded bouba squircles for fucking windows that cut off the content in my PDFs? That can't even help but cut off the buttom of the scroll bars? This piss ugly grey on light grey on grey with the most pathetic, cowardly whisper of texture they call "glass"? It's fucking over. At least until Alan Dye crawls back into whatever print ad shithole he crawled out of.

same, i think the slow decline of macos' user interface means kde is actually the same level or even better (kde slowly improving mac slowly declining) so i might as well jump sooner than later... i'll miss the quality of some native apps, but that to me is more a business opportunity than a pure negative per se
