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

1•nidnogg•2h ago
So IT mandated my work laptop to be updated to Tahoe. Despite all the hate I've found so far on the internet, I've started to like some aspects of it and have been considering propagating this to my personal Macbook.

How stable is the OS now, almost 2 months in? Have the Electron slowdown bugs been squashed? I'm running a base M1 Macbook Pro 14-inch.

My usual machine is a MacBook Air M1.

I upgraded as soon as Tahoe was generally available. I haven't seen major problems but due to another project I have not used the Mac very much. It's plugged into a docking station and stays up and running but it's been just idling for the most part.

But it handles the dock/undock, sleep, monitor mirroring, external hard drives just fine. During the beta there was a challenging issue with sleep/wake when it is docked but that has been resolved. So from a basic hardware functionality perspective Tahoe is working for me. That is fit and finish you would demand from Apple, but the Thunderbolt 4 dock is from OWC etc.

I haven't tested Electron worker thread issues beyond some light editing in Visual Studio Code. I haven't noticed acute performance problems.

That said, two weeks ago I was doing photo conversion to SVG with OmniGraffle, Affinity Photo and Designer, VSCode, multiple web browsers, five external storage devices... With all that, the system seemed laggy. I was getting irritated by some stupid design decisions the project required and the lag didn't improve my mood. So: totally subjective anecdotes.
