Yeah I'm familiar with what is in OS X, I have had to use it a few times for work. The fullscreen approach is very clunky. And the window animations are incredibly slow. I'm used to dynamically moving windows around and tiling things quickly. I tried using yabai but it was so slow and buggy there was no point. I think magnet/rectangle helps but it is still a subpar experience.

I tried getting Macs to work for years with yabai etc and came to the same conclusion as you. It's garbage for my workflows. Linux is a million times better.

I decided to get a fully spec'd out Thinkpad X13 AMD 2nd gen instead - 32gb ram, 1TB ssd, 8/16 cores, 16:10 2k screen. All for the whopping price of 1k GBP, a third the price of a similarly spec'd MBP.
