Framework 13 AMD 7040 Series: A Developer's First Impressions
I'm not sure they appeal to the same group of users. macOS is IMNHO much worse than GNU/Linux with a proper window manager, much less comfortable to use with multiple desktops, and forces the use of a mouse/trackpad way too much.[1]
The m2 can run Linux - but external display support is probably a long way off.
So for the user wanting to run Linux - m2 isn't really viable - unless you actually work on it with just the built-in screen - for me that doesn't work ergonomically.
I have the m2 - it's not terrible - I suspect I'd prefer one of these.
[1] Rectangle and AutoRaise helps a lot, making the UX livable:
-
Make Mac usable for Linux user
AutoRaise for focus-follow-mouse. I don't want auto raise, so that is disabled https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise

Your best recommendations for apps, which are not broadly known.
Note: there are two of them. One is more DIY (and has an option to only focus windows), another (renamed to AutoFocus) seems to have better UI.

AutoRaise - A Focus-Follows-Mouse Implementation on Steroids
Is this the same thing?
-
What's an app that you use regularly but it feels like you're the only person who knows about it?
Should have put a warning on it, D. The default configuration brings the window in which the cursor is on top which is also personally super annoying. I am using an experimental branch which only focuses on the app with the cursor and does not raise to the top.

Things I can’t do on macOS which I can do on Ubuntu
https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise then, as mentioned before.
Although what you can't do (I think) is having (input) focus on a non-raised window, because that would break the focused-app-is-active-app-hence-menubar (because keyboard shortcuts) model imposed by the window manager.

Those "power users" who switched to Mac from Windows, do you find yourself as efficient using macOS now? Finding myself preferring Windows ...
I've been coming back to this question periodically for about 10 years and I finally found a simple solution: AutoRaise https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise By default it enables focus-follows-mouse AND autoraise. You can delay the autoraise with a config option. It also has what they call "warp" function that centers the mouse pointer in a window when you Command-Tab to the window. I never knew I needed this until I tried it, but once I tried it, I can't live without it!
- Two apps that are absolute must-have (IMO) - Rectangle and AutoRaise

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst
This is what I used for years. Sadly I'm back in Windows land these days due to work.
I haven't had the same experience with Yabai. I've been using it happily and without issue since April, and I don't think I've had to restart it once.
Before Yabai I was using Amethyst, but like your experience with Yabai, I felt like it would suddenly stop working and needed to be restarted. Maybe your experience would be flipped.

It's been almost 9 months since Ventura was released. What's your thoughts about "Stage Manager"?
I'm using amethyst as my Window manager, and I'm feeling fine
-
Window manager that behaves like on WindowsOS?
And for the second part, we have Wins to manually drag and set the window position, and Amethyst to set it automatically.

[Serious] I don't get why people like Mac and I feel like I'm missing out
If you find the native window management lackluster (like I do), you can install a window manager like Amethyst, or yabai, veeer, or many others.
There are dozens of fantastic window managers for Mac. I can personally recommend Amethyst. It's very keyboard oriented, but there are several similar tools for all flavors!

i3 Linux -> macOS
I also used Amethyst, but I think yabai is much better

Witch – macOS window switcher replacement
Amethyst is my tiling manager of choice for macOS: https://ianyh.com/amethyst/
It was a little buggy when Ventura dropped, but it gets frequent updates and has stabilized in the past few months.
