  • I like having similar tasks on the same workspace separated by mission control.

    So I’d have my programming stuff, editor and browser, then maybe an issue tracker on workspace 1 with mission control to quickly switch between the two. I guess the dock might work for this use but it’s nicer to have the context of which apps are in each control space.

    Then in workspace 2 I have my calendar and reminders on different mission control spaces so I don’t have to have them side by side and can benefit from a more full window size.

    TLDR: minimise workspace count by grouping tasks of similar context.

    Perhaps rather than saying it’s stupid, you can just say “it’s not for me” as I stated I’ve been a long term Linux user, installing everything from Arch to Void, I even did a brief stint using LFS, I enjoy Linux however I prefer macOS, but I don’t go around saying I hate Linux because I don’t there is nothing wrong with it, i just prefer the way macOS works and that is a preference.

    Likely macOS is just not the correct choice for you.

    Use Opencore. Apple stopping support for older devices makes logical sense, technology progresses, maintaining legacy devices can become tedious and leaves the team with less time to focus on their current devices and versions.

    Opencore allows you to update to the latest version of macOS even if not supported. However be aware that it isn’t Apple certified but an open source project so your mileage may vary.

    For your final point the Mac’s I have used have been incredibly capable machines that I’ve been able to configure endlessly and run a large variety of languages and tools without many issues. They have sane defaults, are configurable, powerful and they run smoothly.
