Fastest way to open Messages?
There is also ICanHasShortcut, or MacOS's Shortcuts app which lets you create a shortcut that opens one or more apps and then assign a keyboard shortcut to that.

Story of a Linux User, Forced to use macOS
That said, Mac OS can be fixed with extensions, and I have a ton of them running to make my system workable. I use Rectangle (instead of magnet) to manage and tile windows. I also have the aptly named program called alt-tab to switch between windows, not apps. Gnome does this too, but at the very least it has sub-menus for each window of each app. On mac os, if you have two finder windows open for example, you can't cmd+tab between them like you can on Windows, KDE, or most Linux DEs. There's also canihaxshortcuts which allows me to run any terminal command through a keyboard shortcut.Finally, I have Karabiner to remap shortcuts like command+c to ctrl+c and the like. There's also smaller programs which allow me to turn off mouse acceleration, or notunes, which blocks iTunes or Apple music from running.

P.S. Yeah, I also made a shortcut manager called iCanHazShortcut, as you can see I'm pretty creative with names.

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.
