I feel like at home at Linux but sometimes I want to burn that house when using Desktop. It is really great, very flexible but it comes at a cost. I used Linux desktop for 8 years, from Gnome 2 to Unity abomination, i3 to awesomewm. HiDpi is really hard, random app shutdowns. But I really miss two things a lot: A decent package manager and a fucking ALT+TAB button that can cycle through all windows unlike MacOS where it groups by application.

If I remember correctly, by default cmd-` would flip through just windows, but I'm pretty sure you can mix them in and have cmd-tab flip through both. As for a package manager, what are your needs? Since you can't repackage the OS, "package managers" are quite a bit different in macOS and Windows. I've generally liked Homebrew, but when trying Windows and looking at Chocolatey I was really confused (I believe I was hoping to compile/install libraries instead of applications). I think Nix has a lot of potential. I wish I could use it more in Linux and macOS (and I wish it had more polish).
