    Polished doesn’t mean functional or ergonomic, which is something I value a lot. The ability to customize what I want easily is also something that Linux offers much more directly than macOS (which is the definition of getting in the way).

    Again, I totally believe that for someone the Mac experience can be superior, but it depends on preference, use, habits and priorities.

      What would you need to customize? IMO if you need to customize stuff that’s a failure. It should be right out of the box.

        I want to customize all the keybindings for workspaces, since I want to create my own workflow. I think different people have different preferences. I am not looking for an out-of-the-box experience, but a setup I can make mine and opinionated. That’s what I mean that it depends on personal requirements too.

          That’s all? Easy to do on macOS, it’s right there in the settings menu.

            Not to the level I can get with rofi and i3. The only way to get somewhat similar is to use yabai, which needs SIP disabled to have somewhat similar features.
