Jealousy is more like it. MacOS is amazing.
MacOS is extremely barebones. Almost two years ago I got a MacBook to work on a customer project. Until then I've only been on Linux and Windows 10. And boy was I in for a surprise. I kind of got used to it, but let me give you a few examples.
You want to tab between windows and not apps? Better pay for an app. You want to snap your windows left or right? An app. You want to control which app outputs to which audio device? You guessed it - an app. Clipboard? App. Configure mouse acceleration? An app (linear mouse).
I mean, the OS is polished and looks great. And if all you do is swoosh windows left and right in Starbucks, that's all you need. But for anyone else it's just sad how little it supports out of the box.
Yyyeeeeaaaaa….. those all exist within MacOS natively.
So maybe I missed it or we are talking about the same things. Can you point me at the right thing to look for? Since you seem to be aware how these work natively.
Cheers
