I'll again play the part of the old boring person who will tell newbies to wait at least another week or two for the actual Tahoe release to see if OCLP have something in store and are in sync as they often have been in the past.
MBP11,1: still on b9, but tried more root patching, and cloned all my user data to the external Tahoe SSD.
Booting Tahoe with an OC EFI derived from the OC EFI built by OCLP 3.0.0n. Not applying any post-install patches.
😄 No predictions. RC1 could be the first and the last.
But OCLP with Tahoe support is estimated for 6 months after September 15th but it can release earlier
It won't help, the OS will always try interfacing with the T2 and the reason why kernel panic happens even on Sequoia with the MacBook Airs is due to timeout in communication.
I have a MBP 14inch with M3Pro and have upgraded my laptop to Tahoe and have not had any issues. All updates have gone smoothly for me.
Bro I don't know why but my mac used to have hibernation issues in macOS Tahoe Developer Beta 1 so i downgraded back to Sequoia and yesterday I reinstalled macOS Tahoe RC and now it's working fine. Actually this mac belongs to my older brother and he rarely lets me use it. I have two models, one 2009 and one is MBP 11,1 so I am waiting for my unsupported mac to support Tahoe. I don't know when it will come. Exactly a developer from OCLP might tell. I have studied release notes for macOS Tahoe RC Beta and was amazed to find that Intels had many problems which were fixed by Apple so this may fix issues for OCLP on Tahoe, so maybe Tahoe Support might not release immediately but maybe require a month more to fix all issues! But this topic should be discussed with devs and if they wish, they might tell if there is any major update.I have a MBP 14inch with M3Pro and have upgraded my laptop to Tahoe and have not had any issues.

I am curious, what was it that went horribly wrong for you when you tried updating your machine to MacOS 26?
I myself have been following this thread to see if the wifi issue will be resolved before attempting to upgrade my 2017 MacBook 12 inch to Tahoe.
I tried installing Tahoe on my MaBook 10,1 and it did not work so I had to reinstall Sequoia back on to it as I knew Sequoia worked perfectly. For now I am on 15.7 build 24G222 and am perfectly happy running this until OCLP vers 3.3.0 becomes available and has full Tahoe support before I revisit upgrading on my MacBook again.
Let's chat somewhere if you want, because we cannot flood it with invalid posts!
Sequoia 15.7 and Tahoe 26.0 will be released at the same time (September 15, probably shortly after 1700 UTC). 15.7 is when Sequoia goes into "maintenance mode", they are not "adding" anything but just fixing bugs, which I guess is why they have been calling those releases "RC's" rather than "betas".
Let’s see what happens. Apple already said 15.9 on their website, so it means September 15th is the direct release date for all macs. I hope the stable version of Tahoe creates an ease for OCLP devs to fix all of the problems and we see an initial support for unsupported macs really soon. And for RC, I guess there is no RC beta 2 for macOS Tahoe
Depends. If you're playing in a sandbox, no need to wait. Lots of ways to update and test without risk.
I will be waiting until at least March or April with 26.4 (assuming OpenCore is able to patch these old systems to Tahoe) before updating any of my old Intel Macs to Tahoe. I currently have a 2012 and 2015 MacBook Pro 13-inch both running Sequoia 15.7 RC 6.
