I spend half my life in System Settings in Tahoe/Mac mini M4...

Sold my old 2017 iMac 27" ( Ventura something, something..) and got myself a Mini M4 w/ Tahoe 26.3.1 + a nice LG 27" monitor.

Got the goodies, installed everything all excited and stuff and suddenly.... WTH, did I move on to Windows without knowing !?

What a piece of s#*t OS - I end up spending way too much time either looking for something new in S.S. or something that has been moved or a permission for this that and the other, clicking constantly on Open Anyways + pw using apple apps or opening videos I have already watched, importing libraries, etc.. from TM was a PITA, sheesh....

Is this the future at apple ??? Because if it is...... I'm starting to think there's way cheaper hardware out there just as labour intensive. Or maybe even less ?

What on Earth happened ??

Is there a way I can install another OS like Sequoia or something ? PLEAAASE tell me it's possible
