    It’s not better or worse, it’s just…different.

    If you’ve been using Macs for years and you learn all of the Mac-specific shortcuts and window management tools, it’s fantastic.

    If you’re trying to get it to act like Windows or your favorite Linux window manager, you’ll find it frustrating. However, if you absolutely insist then you should just install a third-party window snapping tool.

    I feel the same about Windows not having virtual desktops for years. Windows users had other solutions, but coming from both macOS and Linux window managers, I thought it was ridiculous they had nothing built-in, so I always installed a third-party virtual desktop tool for Windows.

      Yeah that’s a good way to put it, when I picked up my Air recently I was extremely frustrated by how it didn’t quite do things quite like Gnome 40x and how it missed some of the Windows things like Window Snapping but once you get used to the gestures it’s not so bad.

      Also yeah virtual desktops are a god send on Gnome/MacOS it’s frustrating to not have them on Windows.
