Most of these are absolute whiny bullshit. Half of these are about progress. 32 bit app support? Yeah no shit, this isn’t windows. They’re gonna move forward at some point.

Were you able to run it on Mac before an update?

Yup. Lots of 32bit Mac games that died

If half your library is 32-bit Valve games sure but just because Steam warns you, doesn’t mean it’s broke. As I don’t play any Valve games (CSGO, TF2, etc), the 32-bit games I do have will run just fine on apple silicon. Haven’t found one game in my library that won’t work due to 32-bit.

Oh burn.

In all seriousness, this is an enlightening list. I knew someone of these like save as, but not others, like loss of antialiasing on non-retina Mac’s.

I have a non-retina running 11, and it’s antialiased. So, lies.

The new font smoothing is not the same with the subpixel anti aliasing it replaced. Thin text on non-retina monitors looks worse now than before. Most people probably don’t notice it, but for those that do it was a major downgrade.

I’ve been using OS X / macOS for over 20 years now, often alongside some Linux or *BSD distro or another. For the past 10 I’ve been exclusively using macOS, but recently I’ve started thinking of ditching it for Linux.

The OS just gets more closed down over time, includes more and more really fucking creepy surveillance features, loses actually useful features, and gains bugs. Apple also has an incredibly annoying habit of coming up with new and possibly useful features that they introduce and then just leave to languish, or replace with a similar but more broken one; Automator & Shortcuts is a pretty good example of this. Or Aperture & iPhoto/Photos.

KDE neon is pretty slick. Plasma 6 is a big step. Still lacks a decent replacement for Photoshop (no, gimp sucks).

Why pay for Photoshop when Photopea is free and does what 90% of Photoshop users actually need to do? Also, GIMP has come a long way, it’s more usable than ever and gets better with every new release.

Photopea is ad driven, and web based. Which means it’s going to be slower. And I agree GIMP has come a long way, but it’s not a competitor. I use Affinity Photo on my Mac, and I’ve found it to be a good replacement. I do wish they would release a Linux binary.

Yes every macOS and Windows upgrade I’ve done at least in the last decade has felt like a downgrade where I lost something significant I was using regularly and gained nothing useful whatsoever.

I’m with you. It was always about the intuitive nature of the OS, and things just working, for me. All that seems to have gone out the window, and my ecosystem is just as frustrating as Windows at this point. I’ve been a MacOS user since 2007.
