My MacBook setup (the 2024 version)
It exists! Check out [yabai](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai), which is nicely paired with [skhd](https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd).

Ask HN: Best Hacks for a Ultrawide Monitor?
I have a 49 inch CRG9 and the best recommendation for window management is Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) along with skhd (https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd). Yabai is a greedy window management solution that tries to fit opened applications in given space and skhd let's you easily jump between those using keyboard shortcuts. This has massively improved my ultrawide experience.
Only disclaimer is, configuring yabai has a slight learning curve.

Is there an app that does this Windows feature?
Want something free that's better than tiling on Windows? Yabai.

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
Here it is. There is no visualization of the stack, which apparently Stackline in the other comment supports, but I don't tend to need that. Just being able to move between the windows is good enough for me.

Asahi Linux folks are doing us a solid with WPA3 fixes
I use Yabai on my Macs without SIP enabled. Here’s a list of the features that absolutely require SIP to be disabled: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/issues/1863
But you don’t need to disable SIP just for tiling.
> there's still a ton of tinkering and tweaking you need to do to get Yabai really working correctly
This is pretty much true of basically every tiling window manager on Linux, too.
For me, using Nix-Darwin for MacOS and NixOS has drastically simplified my tiling window manager setup after initially doing the work to figure out my ideal config.

macOS Containers v0.0.1
SIP is a feature that protects you from malicious actors with root (admin) access on your device. After they've encrypted your photos and drives and changed your passwords, it prevents them from making your machine unbootable by deleting or altering system binaries. As a side effect of this protection, you give up certain freedoms to customize your system.

For instance requires SIP to be disabled.

Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
This is disproven by the fact that Yabai [1] can instantly swap spaces with SIP disabled.

[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.

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
There is pro version you can buy if you want to support the dev and get a few extra features.

Rectangle makes much more sense to me on Mac than a tiling window manager like yabai. I tried to use it but it just felt kludgy and I went back to Rectangle. Suits my needs just fine.

What's part of your personal Shortcuts setup that you can't live without? Favorite way to run, hardware, ....
This started when I was unable to have apps appear on the correct monitor and in the correct shape / space. I played with a few window management apps and settled on Rectangle Pro.

Window Management & Snapping
Just curious, did you try Rectangle Pro? There are a number of features in it that are influenced by Windows, like mimicking the win+arrow keys, a snap panel that you can drag windows onto, and snap targets that act like fancy zones from Power Toys.

Swish is the greatest window management app for mac
Swish is pretty nice, but Rectangle Pro is the best. The window throw feature in Rectangle Pro is faster and more flexible, and to me it feels more intuitive.

What all things would I miss if I switch to macbook from Windows?
This is what Pro gets you.

Later: abandonware or not?
FWIW, the functionality here overlaps a bit with some of the functionality that I have in Rectangle Pro.
-
What's a good window management app similar to PowerToys?
RectanglePro a fully featured upgrade of the free app. Lots of different ways to configure window management but custom App Layouts is pretty impressive. You setup your app windows as required then you can save the config and reconfigure it with a shortcut. You can also create custom areas similar to BTT which can be activated from a Snap Panel which appear when you drag a window.
