It's an app called MissionControlPlus

It's fun, I'm a Linux user running tiling window manager, but still Mac's Desktop environment is not that bad. When compared to windows

Its way simpler and more reliable, It also prevents apps from planting their files deep into your system and instead keeping them compact just inside the app itself. So when you want to delete something you dont have to install a third party uninstaller to make sure every single file is removed from your system

@@mertilizm can't agree with the last statement, the 'data' of the application will be still present on "./local/share/applicationname". You will have to manually remove it.

​@mertilizm it does not work this way for Adobe apps. All of the cache isn't consolidated inside the .app, it's in some bullshit directory somewhere. So I may move the Adobe After Effects.app to the trash can to get rid of the 5gb install but it won't get rid of the 15gb worth of random playback cache that it generated

​@@mertilizmeven then, when you go to the launchpad and long-press an icon so that the apps start wiggling, you only get the option to uninstall apps by pressing the "x" icon IF they were installed from the Mac app store, since that guarantees that every single piece of cache it generates is consolidated inside the app manifest . If it was downloaded from the internet it won't give you that option since macos can't guarantee it won't leave junk somewhere else on the system. I think this architecture would be super solid if there was a better way to link the app and its cache together

Try doing it with the control key. Control + UP will bring up mission control and Control + RIGHT / LEFT arrow keys will switch virtual desktops.

I would like that app too

Can't you already do so with 3 fingers up? And switch virtual desktops with 4 fingers left-right (3 finger will Alt-Tab between apps, which I think makes more sense)

@@lmnk On Windows?

@@jamesnyers1721 yes, on Win11 at least (not sure about Win10, but it's probably the same)

Hello, I got the SVG versions on GitHub and then turned them into PNG's with photoshop. Here's the link - github.com/keeferrourke/capitaine-cursors/tree/master/src/svg

@@bogxd oof that's a ton o' work thanks tho

@@strange_thing-arra-3692 xd yeah, I put it up on my site so you can avoid doing the work (its free) - store.thaomaoh.com/b/capitaine-cursors-for-mac

@@bogxd YOOO WHAT holy shi you cookin' (too late tho i already made a few lmao but i gotta make sure i keep ur site in my bookmarks)

Launchpad shows all apps in your desktop. Minimized apps have another space, the dock. It makes sense for them to be separated. You can see all the instances of an app by swiping down with three fingers on the app icon.

@@angeltorres7048 So basically MacOS isn't meant for a mouse.

@@vlcthefish If you're on mouse, you can enable Scroll to Exposé app

@@vlcthefish you can use control + down arrow.

You can also use cmd + h to hide your application instead of minimizing the individual windows. Then you can cmd + tab to go back to that application. I find this much easier than minimizing.

Where are you stuck?

​@@bogxdin the washing machine

fun fact: if you are using an apple keyboard, command key is windows key

@@IvanGaming-qq4oc yes

This is just my opinion

Regrets, no, I like it, I like having the option to use both OS's. The things I miss from windows are: 1. obviously gaming, 2. the ability to turn off certain animations (like switching virtual desktops that take twice as long with ProMotion for no reason), 3. a "snappier" way to snap windows, 4. some features from the taskbar, like app previews once you hover over them.

@@bogxd I’ve been unsure about taking the decision of purchasing a MBP for 3 years now 😅

If you need a solid laptop, just buy it, you will get used to the os. I bought mine like 2 weeks ago. Its not hard at all to adapt to system.​@@sherifbatawy

What do you mostly need a computer for? And how old is your current one?

@@bogxd Video editing, I’m currently using a lame 2013 hp 2000 with a 3rd gen Cor i3 chip and a built-in intel “graphics card”. It’s lame, that it can’t even play back 4K vids, that I’ve been using Lumafusion on iPhone. That said, I like how Windows 11 Pro is put together and easy to use.

Actually Windows only has 70% market share now

lol, windows-looking app not supporting CMD,

Click on the bottom right corner and it will minimize all windows and show the desktop. I hope this still works for windows 11, I didn’t use windows for a while.

hi

MacOS Windows management is a complete joke Basically if you can't find a third party app to fix it you are screwed Also MacOS has terrible support for monitors as well

​@@vlcthefish The "thing" that's missing is snapping, but that's solved with Rectangle. Other than that, Mac is far ahead. Usually people just haven't bothered to get familiar with Mac's "way" of doing things. You can't make a real split screen in Windows, only resize two windows next to each other. With Mac, you can both move windows next to each other natively (option + green button or window-menu) or add "Split-Screen 2 apps" Shortcut from Shortcuts gallery or use Rectangle etc. or set them in split screen mode, so full-screening content respects it's side. You can't drag and drop stuff through task view. On Mac, swipe up with 3 fingers while dragging. You can even use mouse and trackpad at the same time. Or keyboard shortcuts, including spacebar as click. You can't click while dragging stuff to and from windows On Mac, you can press spacebar or force click the trackpad. To move a window to another virtual desktop, on windows, you open a taskview, right click on a window, choose move to another window, choose the desktop from a menu. On Mac, you drag the window to the side of the screen. Or to top and drop it to any desktop, or press ctrl+arrow to switch desktop while holding the window. You can't drag and drop stuff to another virtual desktop. With Mac, you can many different ways. Just swipe with 3 fingers, use keyboard shortcut, Mission Control, hold over Dock icon, use Hot Corners, drag to side of the screen... On Windows, you must move window from the top bar Mac lets you both resize and drag window from every side. Perpendicular moves, parallel resizes. On Windows, you can only minimize or maximize. Mac let's you minimize, maximize, fullscreen, hide. Window let's you drag the "splitter" in the middle to resize both windows at the same time. That's something Mac can't do ons desktop. It does do it in Split Screen mode. Other than the snapping layouts, Windows resizing is very limited. It let's you drag a side and maximize the window, but that's pretty much it. Mac lets you maximize by double clicking top bar, or option double clicking a corner, but you can also auto-resize to a screen border by double clicking any side or corner, option let's you also mirror movement. For example, you can resize to fill top and bottom of a window by option-doubleclicking top or bottom. Shift let's you keep the current shape of the window. Good for media-related windows. For developers, the windows are more limited on Windows. For example, on Arc browser, the browser cannot have the uniform thin look on Windows. On Mac, developers can make their own implementations if you want. Like Opera GX on Mac has the window buttons on side of the window to maximize vertical browsing space. In fact, even if you're not a developer, you can use Apple's Shortcuts app to create your own advanced Window management scripts without actually scripting, by using drag & drop blocks like "move window" and "resize window" in Shortcuts app. For example, I've made a shortcut that sets 4 last active windows next to each other.

@@eclipticpath Watch the video "I Forced Myself to Use macOS For 30 Days (macOS Challenge)" details the issues with MacOS

​@@eclipticpath Seems to me that you're coming from "laptop" point of view. MacOS is great when using as a pure laptop, its when you connect to a monitor and mouse, thats is when MacOS completely shits its bed. I have been using MacOs for about 3 years, and its still very hard to image that somebody would take MacOS over Windows for desktop setups given you have experience with both systems.

@@Sinier940n I have Mac Mini & Ultrawide monitor, trackpad on left hand, mouse on right. I don't have a Macbook, but I can imagine MacOS is very good for laptop users, so I'm sure you're right. But on desktop too, on Windows, it's not possible for me to put Resolve on left and make a video go full screen on right, cause windows doesn't have split screen mode. It's not possible to use trackpad and mouse at the same time. It's not possible to maximize vertical space on browsers because windows on Windows don't let me hide the top bar etc... The thing is, for most "issues" on Mac, I can find an answer like "install Rectangle", "disable this setting" etc, so I can do stuff "the Windows way" if I want to, but I can not do stuff "the Mac way" on Windows. On Windows, getting the file from File Explorer must be done with alt tabbing. And I can do that on Mac too. But if I happen to have my hand on trackpad, I can also swipe to Finder, choose the file and swipe back. You can't do that on Windows. Though, PowerToys etc. does bring some more functionality, so with some tweaking and extra apps, Windows can be very good too. Usually, people who think MacOS can't be used with desktops just haven't learned an efficient workflow and are using 3rd party mouse/keyboard but haven't set up any way to use any of Mac's navigation capabilites. They full-screen an app and think they're stuck cause they don't know they could slide between the apps or peek into desktop at any time. So for less tech-savvy people, I'd definitely recommend Windows. Although Mac is super versatile, its desktop and window management system is MUCH more complicated. I tried using Linux's AwesomeWM and I couldn't use it at all. It's even more complicated but that doesn't mean it's shitty. It just means I don't know how to use it efficiently.

Cheers!

This. 100% It's puzzling that RU-vid is flooded with lengthy "Switched to Mac" videos, praising the build quality and integration etc.., yet curiously overlooking the fact that MacOS is essentially unusable as a desktop operating system. Bought my M1 Macbook 3 years ago, im not new to the OS, i know the shortcuts, i love it for what it is, but it could never replace my windows machine for work.

yooooo

And get 4 hours life laptops?

hackintosh

Get out

Why watch this video if you think its dumb, go back to your dark side.

Is not dumb is hard, just like when you trying to change your life.

Bye Bye

i dont like macOS so i use linux instead (please dont judge me fr 💀)

Ur dumb

Eyeglasses

use arch bruv

That's crazy, I think MacOS is the most modern looking OS.

Thank you very much for watching good sir
