Thanks for all the suggestions to fix my issues on macOS. A few remarks:
- the option to always keep the menu bar visible in fullscreen wasn’t where people told me it was. I eventually found it in “missions control” for some reason.

- The “move” shortcut is the stupidest thing. Just use the command X feature that is IN THE MENU (why have it here if it’s greyed out all the time??)

This OS is made up of a bunch of disjointed features layered on top of each other without thought about how they solve window management.

@thelinuxEXP well, Stage Manager doesn’t help, either. But as someone who likes GNOME because I can make it feel like macOS and who’s gone through a lot of traditional X window managers (and non-traditional, like i3) I can tell you that window management will never be a solved problem for everyone. Still, there are loads of third-party utilities (https://taoofmac.com/space/apps/window_managers) and a _lot_ of OpenSource apps have ports, so it’s still my go to after a year of Fedora…
