Yeah I am a huge OSX/macos fan that converted 10-12 years ago and every single job in my last 10+ years has given me a MBP so I know it almost better than linux or windows now (I've been an eng for both).
Whatever goes on in the Apple MacOS meeting rooms every year lately is like, nothing that I could ever imagine in my wildest fever dream. Stage manager? Why do I still have 5 app packages "mounted" on my desktop after 3 years that I eject every few weeks and come right back? Webcam emojis with thumbs, cool. etc etc. That iphone webcam thing was cool for a week but i completely forgot about it until I wrote this.
I can think of so many goofy bugs or weird MacOS idiosyncracies that just never get mentioned that we deal with. I've had SO many Macbook Pros, I have 3 M1s in my house right now and I have like 2x the amount of white chargers than I have of actual laptops nowadays and they all act exactly the same.
When I wake up monday morning and bang on my keyboard no matter what version of OSX it is I have a 40%ish chance of it not waking up without me grabbing the laptop and opening the lid.

Honestly, nowadays, windows is my "chill and relax" OS. It's windows snapping is amazing. I hate developing on it though, I did it awhile with WSL2 years ago and had many frustrations, like completely breaking my wsl vm somehow.

This sounds like apps are being run directly from disk images. Make sure the apps are copied to /Applications/ or ~/Applications/ or wherever else preferred, make sure they’re all quit, unmount the disk images, trash the disk images, empty trash. They won’t come back. There’s also a possibility that it’s automated third party updaters getting stuck and not being able to unmount the disk images from automatically downloaded updates but this seems less likely.
