Just as a datapoint: Not only do I actually like Liquid Glass, I don't have any errors or bugs on my MBP or my iPhone EXCEPT for the audio scratching sometimes on macos. Which alone is flatly unacceptable.

If you're experiencing crackling under high system load, try connecting external speakers or headphones. It's weird, but it seems to mitigate or even eliminate the issue.

Thanks for the tip, however all of the crackling I've heard was exclusively WITH speakers plugged in (via the 3.5mm jack). Though I've noticed lately I'm not hearing any crackling any more. I don't think I updated anything so it might be spurious.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That laggy behavior plus indexing not appearing to find some obvious files made me switch to Raycast.

Same. It’s closed source and has a subscription fee, but I’m all in on Raycast.

You only have to pay for the Pro version. As a replacement for Spotlight the free version does great for me.
