MacOS Audio API
Thanks for the comment. I checked out Rogue Amoeba's SoundSource, and BackgroundMusic. I think they're using some sort of virtual audio device or something to intercept applications' audio data, control each application's volume, and then send it to the speakers (or another output device).

Old sound output app still shows up in the Sound menu bar menu
I had an app called Background Music that I deleted a few days ago, but it still shows up as an audio output in the Sound menu bar menu as well as in Settings.

Collection of "Today I Learned" notes
If you're using a Mac, I really recommend alt-tab https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/.
I love cmd+tab on a mac to switch between applications, but I was missing a feature to switch between windows of the same application. Alt+tab solves that in the same manner Windows does.

On Desktop GUI Minimalism
I know this isn’t the point of your post, but in case it helps your experience in MacOS:
1. You can change the setting so that workspaces do not change their position/order. See: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/214348/how-to-prev...
2. The third party app “alt-tab” provides an alt tab experience that is much better than the native one, and is likely more similar to the behavior you expect from Linux. See: https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app
I also personally like to use Rectangle for window positioning using keyboard shortcuts, tried the various auto tiling solutions like yabai and amethyst in the past but I think the flexibility of Rectangle is worth having to remember and use a few keyboard shortcuts.
I think it’s unfortunate that so many third party apps are required, but with a bit of babysitting MacOS can be pretty decent to work with.

Ask HN: What GNOME Shell extensions do you use?
There's likely a delay so that you can use Alt-Tab to quickly go back to your last window without the pop-up showing. I use AltTab on macOS like this, which has a configurable delay.
