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 I've frequently said that ...

Apple OS are like a tram on rails: they get you where you need to go without putting in much effort, but can't take you everywhere, and you aren't really in control

Windows is like a 4-door sedan: not the easiest or flashiest and prone to needing maintenance but generally reliable and can do what 98% of users want or need. Just make sure you know a mechanic

Linux is like an off-road vehicle: can take you literally anywhere, even places nothing else can, but you better know how everything works because you might need to fix it yourself in the woods with a bubblegum wrapper and some duct tape.

@neatchee @thelinuxEXP That must be why all the Ruby on Rails developers I knew back in the day loved Mac.
