I’m firmly anti-Tahoe and haven’t updated, and I’ve started to find Apple despicable.

I’m firmly anti-Tahoe and haven’t updated, and I’ve started to find Apple despicable. But… Anyone saying they had no trouble migrating away is either lying or delusional. Just off the top of my head: external accessory issues when Linux wakes up from sleep; trackpad quality; battery life; full-disk encryption is still spotty if you, for example, want to use ZFS; boot-level security can be a nightmare to setup (although Evil Maids aren’t a concern for me); systemd things that don’t work and don’t report they’re not working; inconsistent shortcuts for basic things. Man, I like the ideals behind BSD and Linux, but we gotta stop pretending that basic UX stuff is done and fixed, when we know perfectly well that it’s been broken for a decade (running Linux servers or desktop-on-the-side since 2015).
