macOS Tahoe is still full of annoyances like this: a notification inside *System Preferences* that cannot be gotten rid of, and it causes the list to look janky, with weird spacing for the list item and a misaligned "2".

I'd be happy with Classic or Aqua over 'Glass'

For a while now Gnome has been "Apple-like" as a Linux desktop (you could call that a criticism of course but I like it)

But I think now you could call it "Apple-like but without the jank". It's weird how MacOS has gone this way, I remember how refined early OS X used to be. When I first used it back in the PowerPC days, it was the smoothest most professional UI experience around by a long shot.
