Really, don't you?
The first thing I do on any Mac is to drop into Terminal to run this:
defaults delete com.apple.systempreferences AttentionPrefBundleIDs
Oh really? MacOS is fine when things works, but when they don't it's pretty much the same as linux, for better or for worse.
Quick example, because I'm trying to make my nas usable on a mac and it's given me a headache.

On your NAS, put /.DS_Store/ into veto criteria.

I mean, I just learned that to show the path in the title of the Finder window I need to run:
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YESPlease tell me how to turn off mouse acceleration in MacOS without opening a terminal, because I didn't find another way.
It's quite a basic thing, most games include it in their settings yet it doesn't seem important enough to have a setting in the OS itself.
In macos I don't have to edit random .conf files in system/application directories just to make my wifi work correctly. The graphical UI is configurable enough that I rarely need to modify anything outside of my normal user directories.
Where as in ubuntu the forums/stack overflow usually say "go to this file at /sys/whatever and write in this". Hence the need for full file paths.
