Seeing how pace of releases has suddenly changed it is impossible to predict if RC will come out in february, march or even later.. There's no way to even tell if this is last beta before RC or not.
Maybe this is the RC, I wouldn't be surprised to see it released as the final version with the same ID.

No way this is RC lol
Apple is not stupid, theres a lot of negativity around social media on Tahoe stability, not only just Intel Macs, but M series Macs as well. And I'm pretty sure they get a ton of feedback on issues thats why Beta 3 is such a mess, they're prob trying to rush and fix major issues before .4 comes in with latest Gemini+Apple Intelligence updates.

Since my desktop is a 2019 Mac Pro I most likely will revert to Sequoia as my last macOS before I retire this thing. Unless Apple gets their ish together by .4 and .5

Nope - If it was the RC, it would be identified here:

with all these odd issues you're having... have you considered calling apple?

Won't do much, Apple doesn't care about Beta software over the phone or a 5 year old (used to be $25,000) Intel machine. Best is to complain through the Feedback App. Are you new to Apple? I've been with them since the 90s and nothing has changed.

macuser for a very-long time. i've actually had help on the phone despite running a beta (once, anyway). you can wait until the .3 official drops, then you can call. or start a thread (or more) here focused on specific issues... good luck!
 
Anybody else having your computer crash and restart every time it goes to sleep? I'll post the report the next time it happens.
What kind of Mac do you have? Afterwards, I'll try putting mine on standby. I usually do it manually and it doesn't cause any problems.

At first, I was annoyed that my sister's 2019 iMac was excluded from Tahoe... now I think that, all things considered, it will save me a lot of work.

She already didn't like iOS 26 very much.

I tried to replicate the sleep issue with and without an external monitor/hub/keyboard/mouse, with and without power, but this Mac did not experience the problem. (MBP M1 Pro)

MBA M4. I turned off sleep when on a power adapter and it fixed the issue. I submitted both a crash report and feedback to Apple so hopefully it's fixed in the next beta.
