As someone who hasn't upgraded yet, what is causing the 15s wait after a locked system? That sounds terrible.

#12It's not a great release and there are indeed a few bugs, but it's kind of okay. There's a lot of good stuff like container support! I don't know, but it seems to me like people are overreacting? Do y'all really care that much about how the desktop looks? It doesn't seem that different to me if I'm being honest. That's probably why they don't let me do frontend...

#13Those who exchange freedom for convenience deserve neither.

#14Other than that, of course some things got slower, but overall it's an OK release. For example he new system settings were bad before, now they got a bit worse, but macOS 26 didn't introduce those changes.

I think if anyone cares about desktop looks should go to Windows, where you can customize your desktop in many ways (not necessarily officially).
That said, I don't have much experience in that area on Linux or Windows anymore

Guys, the cause is the new OS. It wasn't happening 1hr before it started happening with the new OS, it never happened before.
If you're a Linux user, or were a Linux user, check the logs, close programs, uncheck login items 1 by 1, run "launchctl list", etc to identify the specific cause.

If that's what someone is looking for in particular, I'd lean Linux. I've found linux desktop customization is so much more flexible than Windows. That said, I don't have much experience in that area on Linux or Windows anymore
