New OS Sonoma 14 is TERRIBLE!
This new OS is the worst update Apple has released in a LONG time. It’s like these coders are making it worse, NOT better.
First off, ALL new options should be a CHOICE for users, NOT applied.
In the past 2 days I have wasted WAY too much time trying to figure out where a on/off option is hidden, and some re even gone all together.
Hiding the desktop is the dumbest feature to force on users. Let us CHOOSE that.
This auto saving everything feature sucks. We don’t need to auto save everything in life. And WHY is that option taken away from us? The code is too large and bulky on RAM.
I hope someone will revisit these forced changes on people, who don’t want them. Let us work. Without iCloud up our butts on everything.
Unhappy with new OS!
