No one can say for sure if you should make the jump to Tahoe macOS, but officially if your apple hardware has M2 or M3 or M4 or M5 apple silicon, then it seems to work, especially on the newest versions that have better performance. If your on a fan-less MacBook Air, stick to 15.7.7 Sequoia until more of the bugs have been polished to magical Liquid Glass optimization
Understanding, Why Apple bases its OS's on UNIX
Apple's iOS and macOS are based on UNIX that Gorilla of industrial computers before Linux or Windows from Microsoft. UNIX was designed for security, stability, reliability, robustness, fault tolerance, on IBM mainframe machines so well made in 1960's that some have been used continually since then and continue working in middle 2026, a testament to the American Made Computers from the Golden Era of modern American history, 1948 to 1968, when the US dollar was strong, gold was cheap, most all of anything Americans needed was still be made in America.
Golden Age of American Economic Miracles
Electronics and aircraft and vehicles and appliances were designed to be easy to fix, parts available for repairs, user manuals in regular English written by other Americans easy to follow step by step instructions, a bygone era of economic miracles one after the other for decades of continual development, but it was not all roses and sunshine. Teflon hailed as a non-stock miracle in cookware, it turned out that making things with PFOS and PFOA then dumping the waste created in a river created a debacle of cancers and other disease from exposure to these industrial poisonous toxic substances.
UNIX Industrially Polished to Absolution
Why did Apple bake UNIX into its operating systems, power efficiency, robustness, intrinsically more secure layers of leveled permissions, like nested sandboxes to prevent hacking or viral attacks, in essence more secure, higher performance on weaker hardware, UNIX was tuned and optimized to the moon for enterprise when computers we bigger that cars and cost millions of dollars, such that only large universities and large corporations had computers.
Internet-of-Things
It took until the Win-tel duopoly between Intel and Microsoft to bring PC's home to peoples houses, and yet other revolutions in information technology to put the Internet in peoples hands and pockets with smartphones, and with high speed and wifi at home, the internet has become a utility like water, natural gas, gasoline or electricity itself, hard to imagine anyone not having high speed internet access anymore.
Wifi and High Speed Internet became Normal
Do you mind sharing your wifi password with my so I can connect my smartphone to save mobile data, and if you take into account an Apple Watch or Smart Speaker with Alex, we really do live with information furniture, and just on the horizon smart shoes, smart pants, smart shirts, with fabric wires, smaller power efficient chips, we are going to see solar charging and movement energy capture, your jacket will be able to trickle charge your smart watch and smartphone, with inductive charging built into the pockets :)
Why is Tim Cook leaving Apple
Ask him, that's his personal choice, he is not 20 years old anymore, maybe he wants to focus on other areas of life, other than making Apple one of the post profitable companies in the world.
We can't answer for him or anyone else, let them pick their own way and you do the same. We as people do not know enough to tell someone else the best way to live, they have to find that for themselves on their path through life.
Take my unique angle where I believe family the most important topic, because everyone alive has a natural female mother, a woman who gave birth to them one way or the other. Oh how I view faith in God as the most important topic because it explains why family the other most important topic.
Has Internet Made People Less Intelligent?
Are smartphones making people less smart?
At some level, everyone wants to be engaged, entertained, sleep, eat, have water or fluid to drink, in essence all throughout history basic human needs have not changed that much, but how we fulfill those needs with technology today very different, and we need to remember that cell phones were designed to connect people more in novel ways, not cause people to become lonely in crowded room. Today we notice there are more people with smartphones, yet overall more people feel isolated, not part of a community, no sense of social belonging to group, so how can technology meant to connect people more end up causing people to connect less? Good question, I think it can take culture more than 20 years to adapt new technology into the sock drawer, in the fine grain details of the bathroom and kitchen, the front lawn, the garden, the vehicles.
