Thanks for the suggestion. I had reset the SMC and NVRAM, but that didn’t help either. The machine has 16GB of RAM and an SSD. Spotlight is not indexing as far as I can tell.
Got a tip for us?

macOS 15 Sequoia on Unsupported Macs Thread

On my machine the general sluggishness lasted a handful of hours or so. My timemachine backups were slower than usual for a couple of days as well (I only have it run at night). Other than that it's not much difference from Sonoma. Runs quite well. Only problems I've noticed so far is levels in Preview doesn't work and Messages gets sluggish it you type a lot of text in a single message.
Successfully Installed Sequoia on an MBP 11,1 and I may have done it different than most.
I had Big Sur on the machine, built and installed Open Core and install Monterey, as it doesn't require any patches on this machine. Then upgraded to Sequoia through software update as I would on a supported Mac (delta update used) than ran the root patches, and everything looks good. So, no USB installer was required here.

MacBook Pro 14,3 dosen't work perfect with the latest OCLP 2.1.1 because the T1 Chip don't work and the KDK for 15.2 beta 2 still missing. Maybe that's the Problem why they don't work with the Password or T1. Or is it an another issue!?
I haven't looked up the symptoms that others have encountered, but yes, speech recognition is not working correctly on my MBP9,2. For example, if I try to use dictation in TextEdit.app, it will enter the word "pet" repeatedly, regardless of what I say.
Since I don't actually use the feature, I have disabled it.
OCLP 2.1.2 final is released - and fixed my mentioned bugs - great work as always 😍

That resolution is not intended to work with native macOS, though it appears in Windows native if installed.

I have a new, to me, late 2015 27 Imac. I wanted to start over and put everything on an external drive, for one thing I tired of constantly seeing the top message appear. I searched the Imac and deleted the dortania files, I am now on the latest Monterey. I have reset NVRAM and SMC.
I downloaded the latest OCLP from 11 hours ago, and again up popped the annoying message about booted 2.1.0, installed 2.1.2. I have not installed 2.1.2. or any other OCLP I just downloaded and opened 2.1.2 then the top message appeared again. On this clean install of Monterey I thought I had erased all previous traces of OCLP so I could start over. What else do I need to do to stop the top message from appearing. Thanks for the help.

OCLP 2.1.0/1/2, iMac 11.3 with metal Nvidia, macOS 15.2.b2 safari, appstore and appletv crashes, with macOS15.1 all working perfect.
same problem on imac 12,2 ... have you try apfs trim disable and enable to test it? ... i try wekend new format and resinstall apfs ssd..
Does anyone with FileVault enabled have the glitch that - seemingly randomly - the boot process requires the password to be entered two times…? Initially, as it should be with FileVault enabled; but also, frequently, again before login (which should not happen)…

Another glitch that could perhaps (?) be related with OCLP, in Homebrew, with brew doctor:

you are right, I got confused, in fact in my other laptop (Zenbook 14 Oled touch) the resolution 2880 x 1800 works natively
Does anyone already have experience with a MacPro3.1, OCLP and Sequoia? As is known, this configuration can currently only be operated in single socket mode, i.e. with 4 cores. OCLP has an option to set this accordingly so that this Mac does not crash at startup.
I have already tried this on my MacPro3.1, which is still running Sonoma. The general performance suffers significantly, you can already notice the difference in the Finder.
I wonder if that would be better in Sequoia ...
Thanks in advance for any helpful feedback!

Using OI recovery I wiped every thing, installed Monterey, used Time Machine, uninstalled
OCLP to get rid of a repeated annoyance, (thanks Mwidjaya), installed 2.1.2, OTA installed 15.2 from software update, patched. Everything seems fine.

After reading through that thread, it seems like it's not OpenCore specific even though there are OpenCore users there. Someone on a Native M3 Machine reported the same issue.Another glitch that could perhaps (?) be related with OCLP, in Homebrew, with brew doctor:

Since I installed Sequoia, starting with version 15, I've encountered a minor bug that only happens in Safari. Randomly, the menu becomes blurred. However, if I switch to another app and come back to Safari, or if I close and reopen Safari, the issue resolves itself. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello nice people,
Please help me with this almost off-topic question;
Tomorrow we will probably receive a new M4 imac at home as a new companion of the existing Macbook Pro 2015 running on OCLP and MacOS 15.2.
Can I safely use the Migration Assistant-app on the new iMac to switch from this OCLP installed MacBook to M4?
Or will I definitely cause problems with this?
Many thanks for the help from Amsterdam.

Ive seen this too where if my machine is limited to four cores instead of eight, the performance drops significantly, even for just normal housekeeping things. As a result, my Mac 3,1 is the only aging Mac in the house still running Sonoma instead of Sequoia.
Hi @Sven G ! On my iMac (see in the signature) I have enabled FileVault from Catalina all the way to Sequoia and this is the first time I've heard of this oddity.
Usually, with past Mac OS Xs, all you had to do was delete the Preferences files.
You can try searching the System (e.g., in the root’s Library, in the $Home’s Library and in /etc/) and see if you notice any files that you can remove so that the System, then, recreates them the right way.
I know it's not simple, but as a simple Nerd that's what I would try before giving up and reinstalling everything; of course first normally, i.e. rewriting just macOS and then reinstalling everything from scratch if the problem doesn't resolve.
