I upgraded to iOS 26 when the beta first came out. It’s remarkable how they have just kept changing the transparency of things back and forth, while the critical bugs have remained untouched.
There’s no way I’m (ever) upgrading to Tahoe, I’m just going to hold out as long as possible and hope Omarchy gets as stable and feature rich as possible in the time being.
No idea what to do about the mobile situation - I can’t see myself realistically ever using android. Switching off of iCloud and Apple Music would also be pretty tough, although I’ve seen some private clouds lately that were compelling.
I just wish there was a more Linux-minded less-Google oriented mobile operating system
fwiw - I always just run prior year's iOS on mobile until Sept each year at which I update the one with a year of fixes - so I'm always running the most stable iOS but it indeed has fewer features but stability is more important than new features to me...

Isn't Omarchy just config files for a bunch of existing, stable programs? Why wait?
Yes. It’s also built on arch which will always be rolling release, so it’s not the end all for stability. I doubt omarchy is doing any real fixes for stability beyond config files.
26 series operating systems are all just dumpster fires that are lit up for attention.
Since there are a lot of die hard Apple fans and engineers on hacker news this is going to get downvoted to hell, but I’m going to say it again.
It looks like Apple doesn’t care about user experience anymore, and the 26 series updates all look like they’ve been developed by amateurs online, not tested at all, and Apple engineers just took long vacations while they’re on the clock. It’s a complete and utter disaster of an operating system.
Got a ton of pushback for talking about how buggy the OS has been. "it doesn't happen to me" all right bully for you now I have to helplessly send a bug report and live with a machine that just crashes and restarts if I dare to open the lid seconds after I closed it
