- phaer 3y agohttps://rectangleapp.com/ https://rectangleapp.com/ I am also one of those Linux desktop users who bought an M2 for power management and I don't understand how people can be satisfied with the out of the box window management experience. Every other environment supports hyper + arrow to move windows into a split view, windows, gnome, kde, whatever.
- refulgentis 3y agoAhhh that makes 100% sense, definitely especially if you were on Linux. Not that I've ever stuck with one long enough. And I might have not done this at all with this latest Mac, I tried stage manager. But had gave up on that too last week.
- Freedom2 3y agoAgreed. Not sure where GP got his idea that the first thing one installs would be Rectangle, or brew (do non-developers even need brew?). This assumption is silly.
- alpaca128 3y ago> Not sure where GP got his idea As explained GP used a customized Linux desktop for years. Switching from that to Mac OS' limited window management features can definitely motivate someone to google possible solutions as one of the first steps. I know because it was the same for me as well. I don't need an insane set of keyboard shortcuts but I think matching e.g. Gnome's default experience isn't too much to ask for.
- Freedom2 3y agoSure, I'm not disputing that. I think that extrapolating it to assume (at least from my limited english) that every Mac user installs Rectangle and brew is a bit presumptuous.
