I have a lot of windows open, sometimes from the same app (IntelliJ x 5, Android Studio x 4, Firefox x 5 for example).

# AltTab brings back the ability to switch to specific windows. MacOS is still annoying here because it brings -all- instances of the program in foreground (overlapping a Firefox instance in wanted to look something up for example). Feels like MacOS is designed mainly for one screen. I have about 4x that size on my ultrawide. Still this Plugin helps a lot.

# Commander one is a better file manager for me

# Shottr makes taking screenshots easy and actually works with ultra widescreens

# UnnaturalScrollWheels makes the scroll function of my mouse nice again. Personal preference oc but MacOS has no option to invert the scroll behavior.

In general I encountered quite some bugs in MacOS. I was disappointed tbh because I came back after many years of Windows and Linux. Macs and MacOS are build in the same house and should "fit together".

A selection: - System settings search broken. Does not navigate to item - Finder sometimes does not find programs (which are found 2 min later without a problem) - Crash of MacOS after sleep. The automatic recovery is good however. - Selecting to only share a window (in Teams for example) shares sometimes more than that window. This can reveal sensitive information
