    I will share an issue I and others have with their laptop that presents just a bit differently (a single cpu pegged at 100% instead of all of them).

    If i wake my laptop from sleep while it is plugged into an external monitor, I will have a single cpu pegged at 100% trying to handle endless acpi interrupts. I have to hibernate my machine and turn it back on to fix it. Alternatively I can unplug the monitor before waking from sleep to prevent it from happening. I just hibernate instead of sleeping now.

    There is a summary at the bottom of the article.

    Summary

    macOS Tahoe’s visual interface:

    • Fits largely rectangular contents into windows with excessively rounded corners.
    • Enlarges controls without any functional benefit.
    • Results in app icons being more uniform, thus less distinguishable and memorable.
    • Fails to distinguish tools, controls and other interface elements using differences in tone, so making them harder to use.
    • Makes a mess where transparent layers are superimposed, and won’t reduce transparency when that’s needed to render its interface more accessible.

    Maybe this is because I’m getting older, but that gives me the benefit of having experienced Apple’s older interfaces, with their exceptional quality and functionality.
