I usually use Linux and Windows (pretty much split 50/50) and tbh this is why I never could switch to Mac full time even though I've have had and still have several Macs at home. The full screen beahavior is weird. Is the dock should overlay every single window all the time? If not then why is the dock not hidden by default? If yes then full screen is actually "maximum size app window without overlaying the dock"? What's even the point of the dock actually? The other one is the open window =/= running app behavior. Wait 2 hours later this app is still running in the background even though I've closed all windows?
- gonzalohm 7mo agoWhat about the minimize and maximize buttons being swapped without any way to customize it. That one drives me crazy.
- brailsafe 7mo agoWhat do you mean swapped?
- gonzalohm 7mo agoThat usually, maximize is next to the close button and all buttons are usually on the right side of the window bar
- brailsafe 7mo agoOh that's just how it is on Windows though. Seems like on mac the minimize button provides a buffer between maximize and close. I'd rather accidentally minimize if I'm trying to maximize than close the window
- LtWorf 7mo agoCome to kde, you can customise everything
- Shorel 7mo agoThe buttons are not swapped. The close button is the one further away from the center, closest to the corner. Same as in Windows. It just makes sense.
- ymolodtsov 7mo agoApps and windows things is actually great though if you learn yo use it and don't disable minimizing windows to the dock
- whatever1 7mo agoIt makes absolutely no sense to have a windowless app. Why would anyone run photoshop without a window? There are apps that they need to run in the background, sure. They have a spot in the menubar. Oh no I forgot, you can only have 5 of them. Not 6. Why? Because FU. Go buy a third party app (bartender) that records your entire screen to do basic app management that the OS should do. I hate MacOS.
- edelhans 7mo agoI keep jearing this but after years of using MacOS Is still hate the windowing behavior. There is already a way for windowless apps to run - its in the top right corner of my menu bar. Why not use this if you _really_ need windowless apps to run in the background? Also dont get me started on window switching...
- brailsafe 7mo agoSeems like it just depends what you're used to, change is frustrating and sometimes totally unnecessary.
- MrDrMcCoy 7mo agoChange without further qualifier implies doing something equivalent or better by different means or with a different look. What people are observing is a specific kind of change: regression, where the experience of appearance or result of action are worsened or no longer an option at all. It's a trend I've noticed in Apple since the move to unibody.
