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'

@geerlingguy I downgraded from #Tahoe back to #Sequoia and the 8 hours it took was well worth it. I will stay on Sequoia until #AsahiLinux does everything I need.

@drewtowler @geerlingguy Not that I am a fan of Tahoe, it does feel quite bad in places… but what was the straw that broke the camel’s back enough to downgrade?

Also, what does #AsahiLinux not yet do that you need? 🤔

@awws @geerlingguy
Hard to explain but the - skeumorphism? - the stuff that makes it feel real and solid - is all wrong. Borders, shadows & opacity levels are in conflict with each other so it feels like a fence made out of crooked pallets. And scrollbars disappearing into overly-rounded corners? Argh. Ewww.

And of course all the glitches which Apple never seems to prioritise.

Asahi has USB-C display now, but still not Thunderbolt (I have a 14-port Thunderbolt dock I can't live without).

@drewtowler @geerlingguy Totally get you. I’ve run into a huge bunch of bugs on Tahoe and no lover of the interface.

If Asahi had managed to get to M3 support a bit quicker I might have just bought a refurb and done Asahi but ended up replacing my 5 year old M1 with an M4 mid last year..

Have Asahi on the M1 but Arch version and is not the daily driver (use it as a server mostly).

@awws @geerlingguy I'm torn now. My Sequoia M1 Air with dock & big screen is my daily driver but across the office I also have a Gen6 Thinkpad X1 Carbon running Fedora KDE Spin, which I like more than macOS (and it really flies). I suspect I won't be buying any more Apple devices.

@drewtowler @geerlingguy

It really took 8 hours? That is discouraging!

@steve_zeke @geerlingguy The first 3 were preserving data & settings and the last 2 were restoring things. Pure downgrade was 3 hours.
