Honestly, and this will definitely be a bit abstract sounding, I miss my machine not getting in my way. On Mac, it's the small things that bug me... You can't use Delete to trash highlighted files, you can't use the arrow keys to cycle through viewed images in a folder, etc. The way MacOS handles software installtions bugs me too, it feels like it's rather difficult to ever fully delete software you've installed on the machine, at least using Disk Images from 3rd parties. On Windows, it feels like the OS is designed to get in your way, in particular when trying to tweak anything in the Settings it just becomes an absolute nightmare to deal with. MacOS at least does settings.... Better, I guess? Linux is hardly perfect here either, and really deep settings will need the terminal, but they are there for you if you want them.

I ๐Ÿ’ฏ understand what you mean! The feeling of "in the way." I feel that the most on Windows for sure. It's like fighting the OS just to do what you want!
