Not GP but I also believe that MacOS feels like a toy. All the icons are jumping around everywhere, everything is colourful, it's 2023 and you can't maximize a window or make it take up half the screen, etc. I also hate the touch bar but I'd probably get used to that. I used a pre-touchbar Air for a few months and going back to windows felt amazing. I am eagerly waiting for Asahi to be usable as a daily driver, my next laptop will probably run Apple silicon.

I was really surprised when I installed Fedora Silverblue the first time. And also I'm a bit upset that MacOS seems to have stalled, and when Apple adds changes is to make it look more and more like iOS.

  I hate the idea of requiring 6 random binaries from 6 random companies just to get the basics working like tabbing windows, resizing windows, and reading drives. Doubly so when they are closed source and free. How are the developers making the money? Are they community supported somehow, maybe patreon? Are they tracking you? Inlining ads to your desktop? Who is paying for their apple devel tools or apple store ID? As the saying goes, if the app is free, you are the product that company is selling Imagine supporting 100 mac users, each with 6 random binaries installed.

Mouse over the green window button, hold down option and you can maximize, and tile to the left/right of the screen.

  Not being able to tile more than 2 windows at once is actually pitiful for a modern OS. I really like using macOS with a tiling window manager installed, but out of the box it is unusable.

It is also possible to configure the double-click behaviour on the title bar to zoom the windows without fullscreen them...
