As someone who uses more than one monitor, my Mac has far more issues than my Linux boxes.

Skill issue

On the other hand, if you swap "Linux" and "Windows" in your complaint, you get my experience.

Windows is a hassle to get working for advanced use cases, and then every quarter they nuke my settings via windows update.

I just can't do it. I managed to go about 6 months last year on Windows for the first time since ~2010, but nope. Not worth it.

Trick is to use the newest distro release with previous cycle hardware

Given that Windows still doesn't even support multiple monitors in any meaningful way, I'm not sure what you're complaining about.
