A complete lack of focus stealing prevention, for one. Corner notifications that never go away even though I'm clearly trying to ignore them. Suddenly typing into some random new thing instead of where I want to be typing.

"All your 32-bit programs are dead now, yes including your paid-for games. Lol."

"OpenGL and Vulkan weren't invented here, we'll make the same thing, but not compatible, instead of supporting them."

Apple's file system is still shite. "file cannot be deleted because the disk is full" is a Kafka style nightmare message.

Mac users are also a significant horror when you go asking for help with any of this, they generally have gone full Stockholm syndrome and will blame the new victim rather than the captor.
