From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You should read comments before you reply to them:
I know you said you don’t need a tutorial right after that, but the context of you saying that was another user explaining that it can be changed but they didn’t have time to provide you tech support.
I happened to be in a position where I could quickly get the information they weren’t able to, so I did.
If you wanna know anything else just lmk.
I already had the information but thank you.
What kinds of window management changes would you like to make? Iirc you can make some decently radical adjustments using brew but I’m not extremely knowledgeable about them because I like to keep it normal.
I want it to stop hanging up when I drag windows from one monitor to the other.
When I switch screens I want it to switch when I click on it and not click, wait, and click again.
I want the dock to disappear and stop consuming screen real estate, but I also want it to come back up when I need it.
I need the red x to actually close the window instead of just minimizing it.
All of these things sometimes happen and sometimes don't, with seemingly no reason, which is the most frustrating part, and this inconsistent behavior spans iOS as well.
For reference I'm running Sequoia on a 2017 iMac.
