What kills me about macOS is that the window border is now pixel thin, but macOS simultaneously lacks the keyboard shortcuts that exist in Linux for easily resizing.
Like, a 1px border isn't too back when I have a keyboard shortcut that makes a full 1/9th or so of the window's area the effective border. But when it's exactly a pixel — and combined with macOS's cursor's hotspot not being on the cursor tip … it just takes what should be simple to way harder than it need be.

Three alternate solutions: 1) Long hover (1/4 sec?) near window edge, to make edge grabbier. Long hover (1/4 sec?) near scrolling side for scroll bar to appear. 2) Pressing one of the modifier keys to make edges and scroll bars appear and be grabbable. 3) Toggle keyboard command, that makes edges slightly thicker and holds scroll thumbs visible, vs. hiding them.
