I don’t know if I just need to resinstall macOS 15 or if its part of a larger issue. I’ve used my MBP since Ventura with really no issues. Compared to being on Windows its been very painless.

However since upgrading to Sequoia, my experience has been absolutely horrible. From applications loading then going non-responsive with an invisible window to Spotlight search absolutely shitting itself and locking up the laptop for minutes at a time, I’ve gone from enjoying my MBP to coming very very close to throwing Asahi on it and calling it a day.

Has anyone else had major issues with macOS 15?

    I cannot get over just how many bug fix releases have come out in the past six months. It’s nothing like the Apple I used to recommend to clients.

    As soon as I’m able I’ll be factory resetting my MacBook and passing it on.

          I’m sadly using windows at the moment and I am having an issue that I am pretty sure if related to gpu drivers. It only occurred after i did a fresh windows install on the laptop. I think I can solve it by reinstalling windows, but everytime I install windows, there is at last one thing that I use that does not work. Every single time on every single computer. Its infuriating. Right now, the flicking black windows are rare and are fixed with a restart.

          My wife has been telling me to get a mac for months now. I have been holding out for an m4 macbook air. If I could use linux for my workflow I totally would, sadly it is not an option.

        I’ve been running Debian for over 25 years. I ran my primary desktop as a VMware virtual machine on a Mac since 2009, before that on bare metal. My late 2015 iMac died in June. I can no longer run my Debian desktop and bought a MacBook to use as a portable terminal it’s not been a good experience.

        I’m currently evaluating proxmox. It’s not feature complete and I’m not yet prepared to build my future on it.

        I might go back to bare metal for a while, but that’s a big step backwards.

      I first noticed this when I picked the iPad 2020 years back and despite the 120hz screen the experience feeling choppy at random times. It took like 6 months for bugs to finally be worked out.

      It was jarring due to expecting more polished bug free experience out the gate as opposed to Android or Windows type bugs.
