I'll be waiting till 26.2 or later. I'm certain the problems with 26 are amplified on here, but there appears to be a lot more noise around this release than previous versions.
Got a tip for us?

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

Cinnamon called me.
Especially on the desktop. With presbyopia having set in the menubar on the top has me looking through the distance lens at all those little icons. Putting it on the bottom works better.
Menubar on the top is not so bad on a laptop that is on the lap as I'm looking down anyway.
I also hate it. The rounded corners, the inconsistent Liquid Glass elements, the excess RAM usage. Even waking my Mac is slow. I get the beach ball every time I wake it up from sleep.
well they shouldn't have gotten rid of the people that did the work just because they wanted to work from home but here we are where everybody complains about the bugs
This hysteria happens every year. If it were up to you, you'd still be using macOS Lion.
Apple's only mistake is that they push updates too early and too aggressively.
They shouldn't push everyone to update until spring of next year, as the name macOS 26 suggests.
It's ridiculous to read about Linux—you can't use it. What kind of Linux do you want if you have to do so much yourself? Changing your wallpaper and removing unnecessary widgets from your desktop is difficult for you, and half your devices don't work out of the box.

There are a squillion laptops in the market place. It narrows down the search field, offers some names for further research.
I wasnt after a specific model for purchase , just some examples of similar machines.
Why wouldn’t you use AI for this?
