I know eventually I will install a Tahoe partition on my 7,1 as it's the last version of the OS the 7,1 will support. My question is, is it ready for prime time now? I figured I'd wait until the release of 26.1 before pulling the trigger, but is there any reason to avoid 26.0.1?
I'm on Sonoma 14.8.1 now; skipped Sequoia as I typically upgrade my OS every two years. Everything just works for the most part., so I'm in no hurry, but I suspect it's inevitable that I upgrade -- just want minimal drama.

The forums are fraught with stories of how 26.0.1 messed up this, that or the other. Since you mention you don't have a real itch for 26 point anything just yet I'd say hang tight and wait a few weeks after 26.1 goes live.

I have the latest version on two 7,1 machines and it is working fine on both of them. I know that doesn't mean much in the face of all the negative reports elsewhere.

I'm on 26.1 Beta 4 and it looks alright. 0.1 was slower. Definitely feels a bit slower than Sequoia. If it's a production machine maybe wait for .3?

Since macOS 26 is the last macOS supported for 7,1, I assume Apple will get it to a great place.
