When it first came out, I had read that there were some issues with macOS Tahoe on Intel Macs, such as performance. For that reason, I've held off upgrading my 2019 16" MacBook Pro (16 GB memory) from Sequoia to Tahoe. It's now the middle of January, so I'm wondering whether things have improved? I'd appreciate feedback from those running Tahoe on an Intel Mac.

I'm aware that some Tahoe features are unavailable on Intel Macs. I am running iPadOS 26 on my iPad, so I'm already familiar with LG (Liquid Glass).
 
I recently upgraded my 2020 27” iMac to Tahoe and haven’t noticed any real differences or problems from Sequoia. It’s been just as solid so far. Upgraded right to 26.2.

Thanks! That encourages me, though you have 4 times the memory on your iMac than I have on my MacBook Pro.
