I use MacOS at work, and I just can't get used to it. I love how fast I can navigate in i3 and how fast everything feels. I do like MacOS but I hate how the only shortcut keys to switch Windows are from cmd 1 - 5, I hate that I can't easily move windows without something like spectacle (that feels clunky - 4 buttons to move a window to another screen?) and I really can never get used to the cmd key placement :D

I've tried using Amethyst or whatever the tiling window manager is, but I found it crashed a lot and the keybindings weren't great.

Overall I think MacOS is a great OS, I just feel like I need a real tiling manager that I can't get without Linux.

The first thing I do when setting up a new Mac is swap the option and command keys.
