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?
What about the minimize and maximize buttons being swapped without any way to customize it. That one drives me crazy.
The 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.
What do you mean swapped?
That usually, maximize is next to the close button and all buttons are usually on the right side of the window bar

Come to kde, you can customise everything
Apps and windows things is actually great though if you learn yo use it and don't disable minimizing windows to the dock
I 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...
It 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.
Seems like it just depends what you're used to, change is frustrating and sometimes totally unnecessary.
Change 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.
