Liquid Glass has no place on the desktop (or the phone really).
I migrated to Mac OS X from OpenBSD in like 2002 or so. MacOS has been a steady decline for many years, probably soon after the iPhone. Snow Leopard was probably the height of the MacOS experience. It’s been lots of little things along the way but I agree Tahoe is an inflection point.
- chillfox 1mo agoThe Liquid Glass thing is a migraine trigger for my mum, and everyone I know with an iPhone has turned as much of it off as possible.
- Telemakhos 1mo agoIt's sad how much faster and cooler my phone runs with the accessibility feature that turns off parts of Liquid Glass.

- Induane 1mo agoDepending on your needs. I'm not sure it's that cut and dry. For developer experience I don't find it very good. My System76 laptop provides a better experience. It is all pretty subjective though. Windows is the best option for some.
- Induane 1mo agoTowards the end of it's dev cycle I think Snow Leopard got pretty good. I do think about this article though: https://www.rubenerd.au/the-myth-of-snow-leopard/ https://www.rubenerd.au/the-myth-of-snow-leopard/ Obviously (to me anyway, maybe folk disagree) comparing a new release to the previous versions last release (with years of bugfixing) wasn't totally fair, but my experience with Snow Leopard wasn't great either and I wonder if it wasn't quite the peak everyone thinks of it as.
