- abnercoimbre 1y agoFinger crossed for mine as well!
- kybernetyk 1y agoBefore macOS 26 I would have agreed with you. But after Tahoe my M1 MacBook Pro feels a lot slower. Funny, there's even some regression in layer backed NSView rendering where the app I'm working on is faster (in some aspects) in a macOS 15 VM than on bare metal under macOS 26.
- hoistbypetard 1y agoAre you running any electron apps that have not yet been updated to use the most recent upstream electron? https://furbo.org/2025/10/06/tahoe-electron-detector/ https://furbo.org/2025/10/06/tahoe-electron-detector/ I've got a couple things that I use which aren't yet up-to-date, and are blocking my upgrade.

- walthamstow 1y agoMy 8GB M1 Air is still running as well today as the day I bought it.
