Ask HN: Should I upgrade to tahoe (macOS 26) or not?

Posted by boars_tiffs on Saturday September 20, 2025 @04:01AM
from the ask-hn dept.

After using iOS 26, I'm having mixed feelings about upgrading to macOS 26.Does the new design look cartoonish on mac as well? Are other new features worth an upgrade? I was looking forward to trying out the iPhone app.

Re:Ask HN: Degraded Mac performance on macOS 26 Tahoe? on Friday September 19, 2025 @02:38PM (#45304943)

there are some glitches here and there yes, visual and otherwise, across various parts of the system.

gaming is somewhat impacted too; i noticed strange glyphs playing disco elysium

some memory leaks too apparently but I didn't encounter this first hand.

battery life is impacted but idk by how much or if it's to any significance, time will tell.
