What I love about my Mac is anything I found that seemed weird to me on first go, there was an app to make it behave exactly the way I would want. I love Magnet and sure hope I will always have it.
I'm hoping things will go better for me this time, but the last time I used a Mac for work (5 or 6 years ago) I found the exact opposite. Many things I wanted couldn't just couldn't be done, even with paid third-party apps. Many more behaviors could be put back in with third party apps, but were either inherently broken or at some point broken by Apple with a new OS release.
From a desktop Linux perspective, Apple is a bit like opposite world. The desktop environment itself is extremely barebones and inflexible, but proprietary app publishers are much more likely to target the platform.
macOS blows what I'm used to out of the water when it comes to the availability of apps (that I'm mostly not interested in, because they're proprietary, single platform, and/or cloud-based), but then the core operating system, from the filesystems to the desktop itself, feels basically extremely incomplete.
I believe that I'm in a strange minority who can adapt to whichever computing environment, but macOS doesn't me bother me at all, because it has its own design goals and its own character. IOW, it doesn't try to mimic anyone, and it's fine with me.
I use Linux for 20 years at this point, and it will be always my primary OS, yet I don't feel the need to modify macOS's behavior to behave like my KDE setup. Yes, I have magnet, and that's my only behavior modifying app I have, yet I use it only when I'm really in a rush and need to do something big in a short time (which generally needs me to connect to half a dozen remote machines and open a dozen terminals, no kidding). IOW, it's closed most of the time.
What macOS lacks is composability, and it's OK, because it's a GUI first OS. I use a couple of Automator actions, and that's fine for most of the time.
So far, I am finding my second foray into macOS more pleasant. I think a large part of that comes down to having different (more informed and more pessimistic) expectations, and another large part being that I'm coming from a relatively much more annoying Windows setup that I just spent a year suffering with.
I tend to find myself at odds with macOS' design goals. Some of this is that some of Apple's values are directly opposed to mine, and some of it has to do with my poor vision. But macOS has never felt welcoming or inviting to me, so I've never really managed to maintain the kind of curiosity about it necessary for seeking to meet it 'on its own terms'.
