OSX-Your favorite features come together for a seamless experience.
I tried macOS for a while because I had a Mac Mini nearby. Several features caught my attention and made me hesitant about using it regularly. It doesn’t support mice with more than three buttons by default. I rely heavily on the back and forward buttons on my mouse. Switching between tasks can be tricky since Cmd + Tab moves between apps as a group, not individually. I also noticed that shortcuts don’t stay consistent across programs—Firefox, for example, spreads shortcuts between Ctrl and Cmd. The behavior of commands like Cmd + Tab or Cmd + ~ isn’t uniform everywhere. Opening a file with "Enter" doesn’t seem natural, though "Cmd + O" still feels familiar. "Delete" alone doesn’t remove files. Overall, macOS feels very different from Windows or Linux in terms of design and interaction. Still, the Terminal remains functional most of the time. The only part I appreciate is the way app management works here.
