Would it be possible to have a linux DE with that high quality like macOS? The last 3 years i did a lot of distro hopping. Im really Happy with gnome and ubuntu now ( reason was the rocm Installation script for my 7900xtx). Currently i donate whenever i use a Software more frequent. So i also would pay for a such good Look like on an iMac from my wife. Currently i use 4k Resolution and coloring settings with my spyder color camera. Edit: Im talking about sharpness of font rendering

    You don’t switch monitors, you switch windows.

    Well, theoretically yes. On a Mac, no.

    It’s like that so you can click anywhere in a window to focus it without activating something in the window by accident.

    Why would I want to do that? Why does double-clicking suddenly remove that need?

    You can close windows with the red window button

    No you can’t. It just minimizes them. Just like the yellow button.

    You can absolutely drag and drop to tile windows

    Like I said, sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t. Apple does not give any fucks about consistency or intuitive design.

    and there are also keyboard shortcuts for it

    1. Apple keyboard shortcuts are often 3 different keys for some stupid reason
    2. I shouldn’t need them. Dragging and dropping the window should tile them just like it has in Windows for as long as I’ve been alive.

      Yes, even on a Mac. Necessarily so since it strictly places windows on one monitor. You’re always switching to a window on another monitor.

      Can you give an example of what you’re talking about?

      Why would I want to do that? Why does double-clicking suddenly remove that need?

      So you can activate a window without first having to find a free space in the UI to click on (especially if it partially overlaps). It much increases the surface to click on to focus a window and therefore makes it faster since you can be more inaccurate in where you move the mouse.

      What need?

      No you can’t. It just minimizes them. Just like the yellow button.

      It does not.

      Can you give an example of a window that gets minimized by clicking the red button?

      Like I said, sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t. Apple does not give any fucks about consistency or intuitive design.

      No, drag and drop tile actions always work, even if it doesn’t entirely make sense (e.g. windows that can’t be resized).

      Can you give an example of a window that it does not work with?

        That would make sense if they were overlapping. They aren’t. There’s no need to “focus” the window.

        What need?

        The need to focus on the window before clicking?

        Can you give an example of a window that gets minimized by clicking the red button?

        I don’t understand the question. All of them.

        drag and drop tile actions always work

        No. It doesn’t. I’m beginning to think you’ve never used a Mac.

        Can you give an example of a window that it does not work with?

        I can’t. Because it’s completely inconsistent and I have no idea why or how.
