It is sad to think that the last properly good OS from Apple was Snow Leopard. I do still miss it.
El Capitan was a half decent OS too — it just had the downside that it had already been App Stored / signature locked / iPhoneized.
Worth noting that 10.6.7 was the last good OS; 10.6.8 contained the App Store update and was signature locked.
I’ve just felt that I’ve had to learn the OSes in a different way after they released Mavericks. I get that it comes from starting using Mac in the cat era, but it’s annoying to feel you need to learn a new OS every time you update instead of just using it naturally.
First Mac OS I learned was System 4; back then, you’d be learning new ways of doing things multiple times a year.
It’s nice knowing I’m not the oldest person here
