Honest question. Is it possible to install an earlier version of macOS on these machines?
Liquid glass looks so.. unprofessional to my eyes. And I hear it's also unstable.
- adamtaylor_13 7mo agoThat's a big part of what's keeping me from upgrading. Every time I look at my wife's iPhone I'm dumbfounded by just how bad the liquid glass looks. It's the first time I've ever been so repulsed by a design that I actively avoid it just... out of sheer preference.
- sysworld 7mo agoI wasn't a fan either. But you get used to it.
- philistine 7mo agoI have a base M5 since last year. You cannot, no. It is literally impossible. Do with that what you will.
- icambron 7mo agoIt does look terrible, but I haven't found it to be unstable, personally
- dmix 7mo agoYou barely see any liquid glass on Tahoe. I keep my dock hidden and it's just the icons mostly which aren't that different than before.
- myHNAccount123 7mo agoSame here. Not really understanding the complaints for macOS. I think the addition of icons in the context and menus is worse than glass.
- hakube 7mo agoThe border radius are terrible
- Hasz 7mo agoaccessibility settings can turn off some (but not all) of the garish animations, transparencies, etc.
- zffr 7mo agoYes. This page has several ways to get older macOS versions: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102662 https://support.apple.com/en-us/102662, but the earliest macOS version you can use on Apple Silicon is macOS 11. If you move your home directory to a different disk partition, you can even share it between two different macOS versions!
- asimovDev 7mo agothese Macs can't go below Tahoe. People on Mac Rumours were complaining about M5 MacBooks unable to install Sequoia, so it's safe to assume Pro/Max chips will be the same.
- angulardragon03 7mo agoThis. You can’t downgrade below the version the device ships with (a forked build of the current version at time of mass production)
