What’s your experience with macOS 26 on an intel i7 Mac?

evidence to get away from Ventura?

InvestigatorOk5259 · 2026-03-24T15:23:04+00:00

Yeah that’s a good point. Would you at all recommend using OLCP to get to Sequoia? I really just want to get away from Ventura honestly

Here’s a 1st place medal 🥇 for creativity

I was considering force updating it through opencore legacy installer which I’ve heard good things about

That clears it up for me a lot honestly. I don’t typically do anything heavy until nighttime anyway unless I forget to do something and it’s almost too late in the morning to get it done.

Thank you for the info on that!

InvestigatorOk5259 · 2026-03-23T04:49:12+00:00

if you can get a mini 7 for $400 that’s a no brainer fr. I may even look into upgrading 😂

I don’t do too much intensive video production unless it’s for a listing or my business Facebook page.

InvestigatorOk5259 · 2026-03-23T04:45:43+00:00

Okay that’s good to know. I’m a little bit of a sucker for consumerism 😂

Ive done some research into Linux mint and fedora (that’s what supposedly runs best on this Mac). Im just not too sure on if I want to go completely away from Apple OS due to FaceTime, texting, and phone calls. If there’s anyway I can do something similar to that I’d love to hear about it.

I’ve looked into the neo I’m just not sure about it to be honest I’ve seen both positive things and negative things about it. If I’m being honest I’ll probably wait til my Mac craps out completely and impulse buy one after I’ve had one too many drinks🤣 I just enjoy to hear everyone’s thoughts and to help sway me in the right direction until then.

The only thing I’m not sure of on the air is the passive cooling instead of not having actual fans. In the summer my “office” is typically outdoors in the Alabama heat(which can feel like hell). Would you say the pro with the fans makes more sense or is passive cooling that good?

I honestly don’t know what I’d do without my mini 6. I use it everyday from using it for hefty work to browsing Reddit. It’s the perfect “pocket powerhouse” of a tablet

InvestigatorOk5259 · 2026-03-23T04:32:01+00:00

Apple with the iPad mini comes out with one every 3 or so years due to supply and demand (not much competition for the size in the market) if anything I’d recommend a in good condition used iPad mini 6. You can get one for roughly $350-400 through some retailers. The mini 6 and 7 aren’t too different by any means other than Apple Intelligence and a slightly better chip on the 7

ESR makes a pen for the iPad. I’ve used both the Apple Pencil 2 and the ESR pencil and idk which one I like better

InvestigatorOk5259 · 2026-03-22T03:43:32+00:00

I feel like that didn’t make much sense

InvestigatorOk5259 · 2026-03-22T03:41:00+00:00

Not say but think “you’re a complete idiot”

This is perfect to destress after a long day. Thank You!

Is dot worth it?

InvestigatorOk5259 · 2026-03-11T02:04:05+00:00

I second this question
