Mostly OK, but I'm caught pretty badly with the 16" automatic graphics switching bug - whenever I try scrolling on browsers it tries to engage the discrete GPU, which freezes the screen for a few seconds. Had to disable auto switching, and it hasn't been fixed in the latest update. I expect this will be fixed on the next Intel driver update.

Other than that, things are fine. Not annoyed by the security, and Apple is clear that they're doing the security and privacy warnings across all platforms (same deal with iOS contacts and locations), so I do appreciate knowing exactly what each app is accessing.



On my 16” I disabled “use hardware acceleration when available” in Chrome’s advanced settings. Chrome stops using the GPU altogether. I did not run into any performance issues, but getting less heat and longer battery life when using chrome.


Happy to hear I'm not the only one experiencing those freezes!

It's embarrassing how long its taking apple to fix this. Apple's audio doesn't exactly treat me well either.

It feels like we're starting to reach a point where linux 'just works' more often than mac.
