I remember we got the "MacOS Mammoth" speculation a while back.

Some tahoe lake wallpapers would be nice, id like to see Donner Lake as well as Tahoe, if you guys ever been up the mountain heading towards Reno, Donner is such a nice lake
I think it’s kind of unfair that California gets to claim Lake Tahoe. Like, it's 2/3 in CA, I get that, but CA has so much and Nevada is otherwise a wasteland. Let them have Lake Tahoe.
Mojave is 10.15. Mavericks is 10.9. Monterey is 12 and ML is 10.8. It isn’t hard to rememyboth

Well done. Have a biscuit. 😀
Now compare that to Ubuntu, where the version number is year dot month, and the codenames are in alphabetical order.
For an average user, who isn't particularly interested in memorizing such trivia, it provides much more useful information. Whoever thought that Sequoia and Sonoma should be consecutive should have their licence to practice marketing revoked.
I guess if they’re changing the UI to an icy frosted glass look, Tahoe makes sense. Hopefully all their OS’s get the UI overhaul at the same time so things are consistent
BSD had a Tahoe release. Since the core of macOS is BSD (though it's added a lot since) it's still cool to see respect for the roots https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/4-3-bsd-tahoe-tape.43346/
I wonder if they'll do a Reno as well.

I think those numbers are wrong. Yukon should be next, a la Snow Leopard, just like Tahoe, but better.
I wish they'd name them something that are easier to remember by and to pronounce for non-native speakers.
Also, macOS releases become less memorable to me. I can't remember which came first, El Capital or Yosemite
It’s at the border of California and Nevada, so still California
Just no. Cars and trucks do NOT get new names every year, different cars and trucks have names (like "macOS", or Mustang" or "RAM" or "Corolla" or "Prius") that they keep for (usually) their entire product life, and you just add a year number. In that context, "macOS 26" aligns Apple's naming system much more with with car manufacturers do.
If you go to a car dealer to see the new Prius, you don't have to wonder "what do they call the Prius now?", you just ask for the 2025 Prius.
Fun fact, IIRC, Vasquez Rocks has shown up in so many TV shows because it's just inside some mileage limit from the studios (don't recall the exact number - 50 miles, maybe?) so that it falls under a different set of contract rules (for unions and guilds and such) - over the limit it's a remote shoot and you have to provide a bunch of extra stuff. Under the limit and it's "just a drive". Vasquez Rocks is scenic, and just within the limit.
BSD had the best release notes ever, for their releases.
I thought, though that macOS was primarily a Mach microkernel, with a BSD userland.
