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.
- Three fingers drag to move a window is awesome, why is it not in the main touchpad settings?
- 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??)

The rest of my issues still stand, and even with these small things fixed, the OS just feels like it’s fighting me everytime I want to use more than 1 app at a time.

It’s not “getting used to it”. I get used to KDE or GNOME or elementary OS, or even MATE and Budgie in 15 minutes, and they are very different. I couldn’t get used to macOS in 30 days. 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 Try setting up hot corners.
