Out of interest, why would you delete Rosetta?

The Rosetta package is usually published a little bit after the macOS update goes live. If you have Rosetta installed you might have to wait a little bit longer for the update to show up.

We're talking an hour or two, max. I say, don't bother with trying to delete Rosetta, just be patient.

Ok, I thought so, thanks. I just wait until it shows as there's no desperate rush. Cheers 👍
 
I'm able to click the x on a Notification to dismiss it in Notification Center / Sidebar, but then I'm having to swipe to close the Notification Center and swipe back to open it again so I'm able to click the x on another one. Rinse & repeat,
 
New bug in 26.2. When using a Photos wallpaper, the image is low resolution after the 1st sleep wake cycle. Adding a new desktop with the same image, and then deleting it, fixes the issue.

I swear Tahoe has been the biggest POS release of macOS I've ever used, and I've been using OS X since 10.4.
 
did the update. Froze in the middle and rebooted to restore screen. Lucky I had an external drive I could boot from. Downloaded full installer of Beta 2. I am now running again. Whew!
