Tell HN: macOS 26 is making me have regrets for the first time in 12yrs
Sorry, I'm basically venting, but I'm sincerely curious to know what you think of this. In 1998 (97?) I installed Debian 2.0 for the first time, and I had been a Linux user, both at work and for personal purposes, up until 2013. I was so fed up (because I was older) with the hardware issues (external monitors, graphics, drivers) that I switched to Mac and never looked back. Up until now. I dislike the UI, and I'm frustrated by having to wait 15 seconds every time I want to unlock the system after a break. It's starting to feel like old-time Linux all over again. 3 comments on Hacker News.
