    Absolutely fine on my end - Mac mini M4 16Gb; MacBook Air M3 8 Gb; MacBook Pro M2 16 Gb

    Made the leap yesterday and so far no problems - Studio M2 max 32gb and Macbook air M1 8gb

    Zero problems upgrading.

    I was a bit worried about reports of external drives ejecting and not coming back due to sleep (with the tahoe beta) but haven't had that.

    I'm liking the 'new look' which isn't all that different but thats why I like my Mac in the first place. No mad changes for the sake of bullsh1t.

    So for me nothing really has changed except a tad sexier and different. But the new animated background themes are awesome, 'kelp' is so nice :)

    My 26.0.1 is 5.44GB not 10.05GB?

    not a massive fan so far. Only changed to Mac OS in the last few months, so getting used to it still. I had finally got my safari windows to stop re-sizing when I was trying to scroll, and now I'm back to that again (until I find the setting I changed to stop it in the first place).

    Don't like my laptop looking like my phone, so deleted the widgets right away.

    My update is 1.76GB (haven't downloaded/installed yet)

    I read people were getting the 10GB+ reported sizes in error and when downloading it turned out in most cases the same size as mine or in any case not 10gb+
