I much prefer Windows to MacOS. The fact it is missing decent tiling is a nonstarter. It's too inflexible for my workflow.

And sure, Windows can be maddeningly inconsistent, but what really destroys the experience is the constant ensh*ttification. I know a lot of people here hate everything about Windows, but for me, it only sucks because Microsoft designs it to suck.

Not only are there ads and (some) first party lockin, I cannot trust they will continue offering updates, paywall feaures, restrict more functionality, or insert stuff like AI to mess up my workflow.

I used to think reliability was just about stability and bugginess, but now I think it is about trust as well.

I use Amethyst on Mac for tiling: https://ianyh.com/amethyst/.

Not sure if that's what you meant though.

Yabai works pretty well even with SIP enabled and there's a new one called AeroSpace that's in the works.

Thanks for the tip, aerospace looks to be exactly what I've been looking for for a long time #^-^#

Looks nice, I'll check it out if I have to use Mac OS again.

I'm searching for some document on my work PC and I see ads in my start menu, like what the fuck?

Can somebody exploit that already so they get rid of it

macOS 15 will have tiling. At last lol

I don't understand when people say macOS is inflexible, I find it incredibly flexible, stable and efficient.
