18-year-old built a better computer monitor that doesn't strain your eyes
I use "Monitor Control" on my Mac Studio to control the brightness of my Dell monitor:
- Scrollbars Are Becoming a Problem

[50% OFF] Lunar Pro summer discount
Good free alternative is MonitorControl. Pretty sure it does everything Lunar does but is open-sourced.

Which apps do you install first on any new Mac?
MonitorControl- use the native DDC/CI of external monitors to control their brightness and contrast and volume through the menu bar rather than the physical monitor controls

A long list of problems with MacOS (and their potential solutions)
Solution: Monitor Control.

TIL there are apps that can control your monitor without touching the buttons on it
MonitorControl (simple manual controls, doesn't yet work on M2 Macs though)
The best apps on macOS are BetterDisplay and Lunar by far in terms of features. MonitorControl is a strong offering as well, the gold standard in this field and is open source but it does not support recent M2 macs or any of the built-in HDMI ports of Macs since 2018 (note: BetterDisplay is the only macOS app that supports everything - Intel, M1, M2, USB-C, HDMI - even the HDMI port of the 2018 Mini).

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
I use AltTab [0] for this. I find using a mac without it horrendous.

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.
- macOS 13.5 no longer allows setting system wide ulimits

It's been almost 9 months since Ventura was released. What's your thoughts about "Stage Manager"?
I've been using AltTab (https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/) , which has been a really nice experience.

Window manager that behaves like on WindowsOS?
On mac, we have many options respectively for these two steps. For the first one, you can use Alt-Tab, or you may use another one written by me called Oliver (It still has some bugs, but I like it). The main difference is that Oliver can choose multiple windows a time, which is to some extent similar to your description, while Alt-Tab can do only one but goes much faster and natively.
What are some alternatives?
