from what i've read on macrumors, Tahoe on the 2019 MP is quite messy. A lot of people complain about the UIs being sluggish.
- walthamstow 9mo agoIt's sluggish on a 2023 M3 Pro!
- Forgeties79 9mo agototally possible it’s Tahoe but I’d rule some other potential issues out as well if you haven’t already
- oneeyedpigeon 9mo agoThat's weird; almost the only issue I don't have with Tahoe on a 2023 M2 Mini is its performance. Do you have transparency enabled?
- walthamstow 9mo agoYes, I have 'reduce transparency' set to true. Overnight after upgrade the UI became noticably sluggish. The outstanding example is Spotlight. For years since the M1 release I have been able to bring the bar up and type C-H-R then Enter, in ~500ms I guess, and I would always get Chrome. Now, I have to wait another 1-2 seconds for it to think. If I hit enter before it has finished thinking, Spotlight goes away and nothing else happens! The UI and Spotlight are still fine on my 2020 M1 Air running Sequioa
- oneeyedpigeon 9mo agoFair enough. With Tahoe's removal of Launchpad, I assume you're talking about Spotlight in the sense of what appears when you press the Launchpad icon (F4)? Anyway, I can confirm that I also get very weird laggy behaviour from it—sometimes a double-press is interpreted as two presses, sometimes as just one.
- walthamstow 9mo agoI hadn't noticed that they killed Launchpad! On my M3's keyboard, F4 is a magnifying glass icon for Spotlight. I've always used cmd+space, which has been around for a while. What's even worse is I have disabled all search categories for Spotlight except Apps and System Settings. It's searching a list of 40 apps and idk maybe 200 settings, and it still sucks.
- oneeyedpigeon 9mo agoI also never had a problem launching apps from Launchpad (I guess because that was its sole purpose, and it did it well) while I think it was pretty much day 1 that I encountered an app that just refused to show up in the Spotlight replacement.
- galenko 9mo agoAt this point why even use spotlight? Raycast or a list of other maybe more minimalistic replacements would work great.
- hombre_fatal 9mo agoCan even vibe code your own like I did. Claude Code wrote a single file AppKit program that uses 30mb memory (avoid SwiftUI). Extended it with dictionary, quick translations, and more. Since I use it every day, I keep polishing it without writing code.
- walthamstow 9mo agoThis sounds great. Anything on GitHub I can take inspo from?
- finnlab 9mo agoI guess they only work on Apple Silicon software by now and only do the absolute minimum on Intel/AMD support. It's getting phased out anyway next update, which is also a shame for a machine that 5 years ago cost more than a pretty great car.
- qingcharles 9mo agoWhat's crazy is that it's still a pretty good Windows machine even after MacOS stops getting updates. The irony.
- coffeebeqn 9mo agoLiquid Glass is horrible on my iPhone SE 2020. Slow and looks weird on the smaller screen. I tried to turn most effects off but it still is just worse in every way
- hexbin010 9mo agoMost MacOS major versions slow down older (but perfectly competent) hardware ("hehe whoopsie daisy")
