      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.

        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.

              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.

                  Never got the Mac trend of not using your full screen. I get even less why Gnome copied it.

                  You’re right, you personally didn’t, but thats the thread we’re talking about right now.
