Tahoe is such a criminal worsening of UI quality, it really is worrisome that Apple is proudly releasing it.
If this kind of software trend continues in 2026, it might be the first time I take a serious look at Linux distros on Mac.

Not a single update since 2019 has improved the UI more than it regressed it in my opinion. Too much whitespace, too little contrast, too big controls, and now too little readability.
It's almost like their entire UI department is under threat of being fired unless they invent a radical UI update every other year.
Even Vista was a readability zen compared to this and they aren't listening to feedback at all.
While at it, nuked my old MacBook Pro and Air with Mint too - not like they are getting updates anyway.
It can be done, it should be done. These commercial operating systems have enshitified to a critical point and are beyond repair.
Edit: Not to disagree though. I too have a Linux gaming pc and are helping friends do the same.
Sadly it's only a matter of time until everyone copies it because it's cool and it's what Apple does so they must be right!
