Mac OS 26 Is Utter Garbage and Apple Has truly lost its way....

Just a ridiculous annoyance with "Apps" that has replaced Launchpad. Yes, Launchpad was a trainwreck, and absolute abomination, as it didn't allow you to quickly and easily organize the apps the way you could do in the Finder. There was no way to select a bunch of apps with a rectangle and just drag them into a folder. It was crap.

But this is just as bad. Now you can't even arrange the apps whatsoever. Which means that for every useful app, you now have a service utility that you would never, ever want to click that gets installed with every piece of junk app nowadays. These have the same icon, the same name, and so they show up right next to the dumbass app you're trying to open. Take Autodesk Fusion for example. The two icons look almost identical, and the names are identical save for the "..." at the end. I would never, ever want to ever open the one on the right. I'd love to just banish it to a "crap" folder like I did with Launchpad. But you can't even do that.

75% of apps that show up here are junk that gets installed with apps, these are being used by the apps for updates, menu items and other system stuff. They are not meant for the user to ever launch them. I don't want to have to sift through them each time I want to find an app.

Oh and why not put Fusion in the dock? Because Fusion is crap and each time it forces itself to update (which is every single damn day for some reason), it breaks the shortcut.

Would be quite easily be solved by being able to pin your most used apps to the top of the list, or have a favourite apps page you can add them to and can arrange them as you wish, just like you can with Safari favourites.

Yes I know we have the Dock, but I also don't want it full of a hundred apps. It's nice to have a place where you have lesser used apps easily accessible, LaunchPad was that but now it's no more.

It's clear that the next generation of useless engineers are completely taking over those that built the iPhone and OS X, and it's a sad day.

I have never thought I would say I would be installing garbage from Apple, but here it is. OS 26 Tahoa is truly garbage and an affront to what Jobs and Ives built.

You can see the carelessness and horrible work throughout. Non cohesive designs, BUGS EVERYWHERE, loss of caring of whats going on behind the hood, and chasing visual eye candy over function.

Its sad.

I cant even get my tabs to work correctly in safari and have to access the sidebar to access them correct (icons bugging out etc).

Apple really needs to sit down and fire half its team and spend a whole major version update just clearing the junk that has been built up and going back to building functional systems first, we have reached windows Vista level of garbage...

I absolutely agree with every word you said! Since I upgraded to Tahoe my apps freeze, shut down. My airpods disconnect, suddenly stop playing sound. Today my Mac M1 Macbook air was frozen like a windows computer. I couldn't close any apps, or restart the system. It blacked out and turned off. This has never happened before, since I've ever owned a Mac. This is a shame. Steve would be rolling in his grave if he'd knew what was going on. And the design looks like it was made by 13 year old girls. Nothing makes sense, it's complete chaos and lack of refinement and quality.

you realize that you're having an issue that is not typical? why not start a thread, and get some support here for what's happening. perhaps the upgrade didn't complete? not sure, but worth asking for help...
