I feel you man
The real crime is how MacOS window animations take forever and don’t switch input focus immediately.
And if you disable animations, you still have to wait for focus. But the worst behavior is when you minimize a window and later cmd+tab to it and all windows just lose focus.
Maybe I’m weird, but I prefer the animations. It feels more natural than things just popping into my view in my opinion.
That is true, animations can make your brain understand that something changed position faster than if they teleported.
Mac has an absence of window management. it’s like the product owner stopped thinking halfway through the desktop experience and handed it over to the intern.
when demo day came the PO saw it and was shocked at how horrible it was but had to sell it to save their own ass.
they opened the whole demo with, “I want you to think about this experience and stop, then…think differently.”
Is there, but it’s behind shortcut keys, gestures, right clicks, or force presses.
There’s also a bunch of tricks that become second nature, especially on smaller laptops. The trackpads really make windowing less of a hassle. I just swipe around and occasionally zoom out on an app (which shows all windows) largely without thinking.
Okay give me the short and simple. What window manager should I try. I’m using an off shoot of Fedora.
Hyprland is awesome. Simple config + good out of the box experience
But for almost all tiling managers I recommend you steal your first config from r/unixporn and then just adapt it
