Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it's been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

I believe many of the display issues were fixed with the M2. And you don't need brew to install a window manager, although the fact that brew lets you treat it like a linux box is great.

The system configuration is more about what you're used to than anything else. I haven't used Windows in a couple of decades, and I absolutely hate it. Can't even think of going back. The modern version looks like a tablet OS trying to pass as a desktop OS. Give me a Windows machine and the first thing I'll do is wipe it clean and install Ubuntu. But I'm also sure Windows is great for you. So it's what we're used to. Nothing wrong with it.

I have an M2 and it has literally every display issue I've talked about here.

But I’m also sure Windows is great for you

I hate Windows. I have a single Windows machine that I use for a few specific things and then like...5 linux machines. And then the M2.

Ok, you know better. I had heard that the M2 was able to handle more external displays than the M1, but haven't tried it myself as in my current setup I can't even use one external display. Last time I was able to use external displays I had two, but I was using an Intel version.

I loved win XP, but it's been steeply down hill since then, to this unbearable toddler ui. So I'm with you on that one. I've been on *nix for 20+ years now.

If you want to do basic window manager things, like press the meta key (also referred to as the winows key on non-macbooks) + direction arrow to have a window snap to a quadrant of your screen, you have to install a 3rd party application with Homebrew.

you don't need brew to install a window manager, although the fact that brew lets you treat it like a linux box is great.

Please tell me more.

My new job gave me a Mac. First one I've used ... that has a colour screen, and boy have things (and myself) changed in the interim. I spent the entire first day figuring out what the buttons even do. Am I really expected to use the mouse (well, trackpad) this much? The first port replicator I bought only did one screen, I'm hoping the one now in the mail does better...

I use rectangle for window snapping. It supports basic side snapping, more advanced layouts, and configurable keyboard bindings. It’s open source and you can install it from their website, it’s just a .app. I think I installed it via brew cask but that was just because it’s convenient.

It's rectangle, not in the app store but you can download it like bamboo said.
