I just want it to work without headaches. I don’t want workarounds and “turn off all of the extra nonsense” sliders. Call me an old or a Karen. But this is one reason why I picked Mac for 12+ years, and I am increasingly switching my workload to Linux. It’s not a fashion accessory for me.

I am willing to learn the new features. But half-assed widgets that get in the way, menu bar quirkiness, losing finder menu settings, and more are increasingly common.
