I really don't like mac os's graphical shell. I am constantly frustrated by how terrible its window management and virtual desktop support is.

I also find developing on a mac is so frustrating. The package management experience is just such a downgrade.

And then there are the apps. All my daily apps are open source, and the apps I use just tend to work so much better on linux then on mac os (if they are even available on mac os!)

The defaults are terrible. I use rectangle for window snapping, mos for mouse scrolling, and alt-tab for saner alt tab behavior.

Why you can’t toggle between different instances of the same app by default is beyond me. But hey, we get more emojis!

I’m not entirely clear on what your requirement here is. Historically, Mac OS X/OS X/macOS has had a different app and windowing model compared to Linux. If you’re looking to switch between windows of a single app, you can use the keyboard shortcut Cmd + ~ (that’s Command and tilde). There are also trackpad gestures to see all windows of an application (swipe down with three or four fingers) and switch.

Look into better touch tool for window management. I agree that was a pain and hard to get used to.
