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'm amazed at how many professionals use Macs because Apple seems to hate power users. I had to use a Mac briefly recently and was amazed to find they still don't have window snapping.

It also had no idea what to do with my monitor, couldn't even detect the correct resolution. I'm guessing if I had bought a $3000 Apple monitor it would have worked immediately. But had to dive into "advanced settings" just to set the correct resolution.

check out Rectangles my dude (obviously doesn't come with it but in case you're looking)

This is the way.

So how are you supposed to use multiple windows on it? Are there any alternativees for that?

[-] dark_stang@beehaw.org 11 points 1 year ago

As wraithcoop suggested, you can install additional software like rectangle to do the job. But why is that necessary in 2023? Window snapping has existed forever on Linux DEs and Windows since Vista.

Windows snapping. I use Spectable. It's a free open sourced software.

The point isnt about having a Foss solution, but that this is an absolute basic thing that the OS lacks.

[-] learningduck@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

True that. Coming from Windows, I really don't understand why this feature isn't built into Mac. Most Linux distros have this feature.

Apple power users are people who actually want to use Linux but think it's bad (except for audio professionals because Macs actually have a monopoly on audio latency/pipelining)
