I sure do. The default MacOS interface, to me, feels like it's for children. It's too much work to use it for serious work.

These days I've settled on AwesomeWM. I've been slowly building my ideal desktop since the pandemic. It's super lightweight and completely, completely customizable. I can add code in to do whatever I want pretty much anywhere and it is setup to make that super easy to do so. It's a true joy.

I have a super lightweight, efficient and attractive version of the way I have my Windows desktop setup, except there I have to use a bunch of add-ons that take up memory to achieve the same result. Things liek adding a titlebar button to be on top or to send to a different screen with just a click, or to have a quake style terminal dropdown.
