Anything in particular? I get that it takes some tweaking but so does Linux. The biggest thing that you'll probably never get the way you want is window tiling - it's my personal bugaboo with MacOS. Maybe there's a way to get what I want ...

There's a couple but nothing I've found at the level of i3 or whatever the hyprland equivalent is.

Fucking Finder. What a colossal dumpster fire. It drags that entire OS down.

    No it's not. It's one of very few things that Windows does better

      Windows explorer got significantly better in 11, except for fucking context menus. Also it's incredibly slow and unstable now and frequently crashes, taking the taskbar down with it (???). But, at least it has tabs. Jesus Christ, took long enough.

For me, the biggest pain point is the way it decides which window to bring to the front. If I minimize a window, and then click on the application in the bar, it won't show the window just minimized, instead it always seems to show the older window. Really annoying when using an app with many windows

  right click on the app and select the window you want...

    right, but if you cmd-tab, it brings up ALL the windows: say you had multiple browser windows open, and only want to go back to the one you just used before (think reading some docs while coding).

There are an absolute ton of very capable tiling window managers for macOS, posted here frequently. From yabi to aerospace to fully programmable ones like hammerspoon. A quick search will turn up plenty more. I would be shocked if none of them meet your needs.

  Shouldn't need to install third party stuff for such a basic feature. One more thing that will possibly break with updates or not play nice with something.

Window wiling is a big one for me. I have tried the third party options, and nothing compares to i3.

“I get that it takes some tweaking (MacOS)” How times have changed, it used to be as intuitive as drinking water.
