At the Mac site TidBITS, Adam Engst offers tips to turn Liquid Glass into a solid interface, with numerous screenshots to show the effects of changing one or more settings in macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.
Thinking about Liquid Glass reminds me that it was the impending arrival of Windows Vista that prompted me to switch to a Mac. I think I’m going to be sticking with macOS Sequoia for some time. But I’m also hoping that further Glass updates will turn it into an operating system that I can be happy with. I’m sure not switching to a Chromebook.

From a Liquid to a solid

I'm no longer working for a university (because my university no longer teaches computer music) but they left me with some 10 - 15 year old macs. Rather than recycle them, I put Ubuntu on them. They went from being tired and out of date to being surprisingly fast and having the latest everything. If you have a retired mac sitting on a shelf somewhere, consider backing up your hard drive and giving this a try.
It's not perfect, but the UI is stable and it doesn't just quit working after an executive decides you should have to buy a new computer.
Good post
Charles, I’m sorry for the loss of your university position. (I am seeing downsizing all around me.) I agree about Ubuntu. Years ago I put it on two computers , one of which had Windows ME (ugh), one of which had XP. New life for each.
Matt, thanks for letting me know you found this post useful.
