I actually really like how macOS handled full screen apps, with the windows 8 style side by side and a simple gesture flipping between them like pages in a book.
I’ve been forced onto a shit mac book with this stupid OS for the first time in my life and spend 90% of the tine interacting with it basically trying to work around how bad window management and many other things are. Hacks and custom apps and changing options to try to make sense of it. I’m in this hell hole for 2 months now. I still have no idea or feeling for how or when windows behave or if they even become maximized or not. I hate it all.
The worst offender is opening the system settings and it’s a stupid window that can’t be maximized in anyway whatsoever and just sits there looking like an horrendous thing being frustrating.
But after using it I’ve finally understood where so many bad decisions gnome for example is stealing their ideas from.
Ok, but we’re talking about GNOME here and you’re saying that somehow GNOME copied Apple on this, but it really isn’t the case. GNOME apps pretty much all do go full screen. And the paradigm for over a decade has been this way.
Gnome largely refers to the software suite. gtk is included in the set of libraries anyone can use to make any software. So yes, anyone can use full screens when making software with gtk, but the pre-existing gnome software doesn’t.
My less than 10 minutes per month of MacOS (none of which is actually doing much with it) tells me it’s because of the tiny buttons on the wrong (/s) side of the window that feel impossible to press and show an up or down button and you never know which is which.
I am sure that this is totally the perfect representation of the average macos user and not just me lol
Full screen covert thing. What is the point of that, if you have a big screen?
macOS started years ago to put full screen apps into their own virtual desktop. Which is often extremely annoying.
The only apps I use full screen are IDEs.
It does not make any sense for web browsers or office apps.
Never got the Mac trend of not using your full screen. I get even less why Gnome copied it.
I think I missed this trend. I’ve been full-screening almost everything on macOS for years
I’m not sure I understand… GTK can use full screens…
So can OSX for some time now it gives a full screen program it’s own workspace type screen

Gnome pretty much works the same way as well
But GNOME 3 looks subjectively bad and objectively wastes space :(
This is what I am referring to. Many macOS people work like this:

Amen. Moved countries, started a new job. They forced me into OSX and gsuite.
I’ve been stuck in that for over 6 years now.
Ok but that’s a skills issue on the part of the user, a PEBKAC. Not the fault of the environment.

Perhaps, but it also hasn’t been like that for like a whole ass decade.

Yeah I’m gonna disagree. I can’t think of a “standard” app that doesn’t full screen properly.
