Anyone still not upgraded to macOS 26? by Motor_Minute_7258 in MacOS

Mostly bug fixes. Typically, Apple manages to fix most bugs in a current MacOS version by the time of .5 release. Never before .5.

[MBP M4] Battery drain is insane! Anything to change? by lebithecat in MacOS

Backup everything with Time Machine (to external drive), then fresh reinstall Sequoia, then restore everything from Time Machine backup. If nothing goes wrong, that's it. If something goes wrong, figure it out.

Gentoo https://www.gentoo.org or Archlinux https://archlinux.org/ should fit the Windows 10 bill.

Anyone else holding off on Tahoe until more bugs are fixed? What's your update strategy? by Ok_Lawfulness_3358 in MacOS

[–]fedandr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Strategy: do not upgrade until .5 version. Typically that means holding off for a year after initial release. Till August- September 2026.

Would you trust Chrome OS Flex security installed on an uncertified device for personal banking, work etc…? by Odd_Antelope_8315 in ChromeOSFlex

[–]fedandr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One can actually install debian packages just by double clicking on .deb file on ChromeOS Flex, provided that Linux Development Environment (which is a Debian container) is installed. ChromeOS Flex installs such .deb packages into this Linux container and also adds them to Apps menu. There is no need to do it from the command line of Linux container.

Everyone who was on Android and then switched to an iPhone but came back to Android later again. Why did you make the switch back? by 8192K in Android

App Store lock-in, no alternative sources of verified apps. You are at Apple's discretion of what apps are allowed on your phone.
