Nope, none of them are showstoppers at all. They're papercuts, and you're welcome to endure them if you think it feels so nice. I moved on from MacOS 5 years ago (after the Catalina announcement) and don't miss a thing. I also pay substantially less money for the same software with no built-in advertising at all. My news app doesn't link out to Taboola, my music app doesn't ask me to subscribe or buy albums, my Docker doesn't rely on a VM. You have to drag me back kicking and screaming to Windows or MacOS, because they're both bad operating systems nowadays. Neither one of them is a better choice than the other, you're either stuck with Pinky or dealing with The Brain. I choose neither.

Strange to me that none of the items you mentioned ever happen to me, with the one caveat being I had to tweak my taskbar and dock slightly when I first set up the Mac for the first time. However, I am willing to bet for just about anyone within the HN community no one uses their rigs default out of box without some tweaking no matter Linux, windows or MacOS. My guess is that most do pretty extensive tweaks to set their systems up the way they like them. Perhaps I added fixes or did configuration tweaks when I originally set up the system and I just forgot and those are keeping those items you mentioned from bothering me. I think on this current box that was 6 years ago and has required nothing since and just reliably runs.
