In June 2008 Apple announced Mac OS X Snow Leopard, proudly boasting that it would have "no new features". Instead of piling on new things, Snow Leopard aimed to build on the success of its predecessor, Leopard, opting to focus on under-the-hood performance and stability improvements throughout the system.

      El Capitan was a half decent OS too — it just had the downside that it had already been App Stored / signature locked / iPhoneized.

      Worth noting that 10.6.7 was the last good OS; 10.6.8 contained the App Store update and was signature locked.

        I’ve just felt that I’ve had to learn the OSes in a different way after they released Mavericks. I get that it comes from starting using Mac in the cat era, but it’s annoying to feel you need to learn a new OS every time you update instead of just using it naturally.

    The thing i hate most in Tahoe is that you can’t really have a large folder of photos as a desktop slideshow anymore, because the OS caches the entire folder…and makes it so the slideshow cache can potentially fill your whole hard drive.

    I used to love having my photo desktop change, but now i can’t use it at all. I was hoping they would fix it, but it doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen.

    I was also hoping for a bug fix release instead of more features. I only got the Dock icon bug by now. And AirDrop is broken but only between my iPad and my MacBook (yes I tried rebooting) I really hope they did not start vibe coding in the OS code. Now that they can remove the old Intel code it should get smaller and faster but I did not really feel that by now.

      I have never been able to keep track of the names… i know the OS numbers. I am still on 18 with my MBP. I considered updating to 26, but misplaced my backup drive so I put that off.

          I think that is the version my MacBook Air shipped with in 2018. Maybe it was 10.13 and updated to 10.14 right after I got the MBA.
