[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Would you recommend an upgrade to MacOS Tahoe?

[galaitsis at verizon.net]

I have the same questions that Olga articulated, especially about using purchased 3rd party Apps, such as MS Office, photoshop, MATALAB and some others.
I have one more question. Suppose that I upgrade my iMac desktop  and then change my mind because I dislike the so called "improvements" or "enhancements" of the new MacOS. Will I be able to restore my iMac to its "current" (pre-upgrade) state from a the backup disk generated with Time Machine?
I am sure that Apple will give me some kind of an answer to the latter but I would be interested in the actual experience of someone who has gone through such a restoration process.

 I’m currently running MacOS Sequoia 15.7.3. My system settings is telling me to update to Tahoe.

My current system supports a lot of older apps which I don’t want to upgrade (costs to much). I also like how my desktop and dock are organized ad displayed. 

Has anyone upgraded to the Tahoe OS that is currently being offered by Apple?  How stable is it? I presume it has a lot of AI features. How easy are these to disable?

Would you recommend that I upgrade now, or wait a while?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and recommendations,
Olga
