I'm also waiting. I didn't wait with Sequoia and regretted it. iPadOS 18.0 was far worse.
The second time Augmented Idiocy turned itself on I gave up and reinstalled Sonoma. I'll wait some more.
All my Sequoia Stans please stand up
Refuses to install. Clicked restart now. Entered password. Comes back to desktop. Nothing.
Update: completely powered off and then on. Update installed successfully.

That needs to be done on a per-application basis. For example, my Nova app (by Panic) still has the "old" rounded corners. Apple can't fix Nova.
You're in full control over how often your devices are updated.
Has it fixed the constant cpu and gpu overtaxing, resulting in frequent fan usage?
While the Liquid Glass takes more resources the increased cpu and gpu use had to be the result of some rushed programming....

Where's the Tint?
there is basically no difference between LG clean and LG tinted on macOS 26.1.

Brought up software update on my Mini - only available update was Command Line Tools 26.1 - figured "what the heck" and installed those. When that was done MacOS 26.1 and 15.7.2 were available - selected 15.7.2. Seems to be OK, still has the sign handling problem for Calculator in RPN mode.
You‘ve just discovered the new rippled glass 😀
Remember when another company sold an OS named after a piece of glass and called their systems 95, 98, 2000...etc?
Apple's main innovation right now seems to be stapling unpronounceable, Spanish-inspired US travel destinations to the release (rather than using them as internal codenames).
Bring back Aqua and pinstripes I say!!!
Was just about to post the same thing - I haven't found any changes anywhere. The tinted option was what I was looking forward to the most. I hate Liquid Glass!
Good. Now revert the ugly window corners and bring back Safari compact tabs.
It's as if they didn't fix anything, it still drags miserably on M4 Max. Constant lag, fan noise, spotlight re-indexing, CPU & GPU spikes all over the place.
The Control Center isn't "true" Liquid Glass to begin with. They nerfed it after 26.0 beta 1 by adding a frosted effect. You need to check/compare it in other apps that have clear Liquid Glass controls, like Notification Center, Safari, Photos, Music, etc.

Read the rest of the sentence:

They unfortunately didn't add the tinted look everywhere. I'm currently not at my Mac but from my understanding you should see the difference in transparent toolbars (e.g. in Music or Safari) and the notification pop-ups.
This half-assedness seems to be the new standard for Apple.
Ever since I upgraded to Tahoe on my M1 Air I've noticed videos lag harder than my grandma trying to run for the bus.
Doesn't matter what player I use, it's like this new Liquid Ass theme is hoarding all the GPU cycles to keep itself ugly.

It's still a mess....Just look at the search box...
