I’ve been using Omarchy (Arch+Hyprland) as my daily driver for over a month. It is faster, prettier and more efficient than macOS in my opinion. I have a Framework 16” on order. I can’t wait to get it.
It's little accessibility features like that keep me coming back to macOS everytime I switch to Linux.

I'm afraid for the battery life of my MacBook Pro 2019 (Intel). I'll think I'll never update and just keep using Sequoia until I switch to Linux.
You're in luck. Your device isn't supported.
But it's going to be the last major OS update for my device, so I won't upgrade. I don't want to be stuck with a half-assed version.
Looks horrible on non-hdpi monitors
Eh, it has always looked horrible. Non fractional scaling is just too much to ask at this point...but hey look at this tiny toggle element doing this cool liquidy effect wohoo
The reason Liquid Glass on macOS specifically is getting so much blowback is that it isn't just updating the translucency effect with the new glass refraction effect - they've also increased the border radius of most windows, increased paddings in toolbars, sidebars, etc. and overall made the UI much less information-dense, which is wild for a desktop OS. If they had just changed the translucency effect, I think this…
On the few screencaps I saw from external ~100 DPI non-retina displays, everything looks a lot blurrier.

If this were April 1st, it might make sense. But this is a major OS release by a brand that's famous for its design aesthetic. What the actual fuck Apple? Does nobody test anything anymore? How did this get out of the lab? Who exactly is steering this ship? Tim Cook's days at the helm might be winding down.
Honestly feels like QA and release qualification are non-existent in so many organisations these days. This can't possibly be the case though, right? Right?

I feel like every macOS update has been worse than the last, since like 2015-2018 or so. Still, their only real competition is Windows 11, which isn’t well received either.

Everything I've seen of it looks a disaster. I'll wait for macOS 27.
Waiting an extra year to jump on new macOS releases has been the norm for sane people for quite some time now. It sucks if you buy a new mac which isn't supported by older macOS releases though, so maybe don't do that for a year or so. I guess you sometimes just have to put your new Apple device in storage for a year until there's functional software.

It's sad that the best Linux laptop right now arguably is a M4 Mac virtualizing Linux.
Why not run it natively with Asahi Linux?
they need to bring Scott Forstall or someone Bertrand Serlet-esque back, and a designer who isn't Alan Dye
