The way MacOS throws notifications for shit like app store software updates at the top right of the screen (by default) drives me up a wall lol. It feels like there's always something wanting to float around up there on one of my computers these days.
I miss the old days when Mac OS X was the ultimate "leave me alone and let me get my work done" OS.
At least the do not disturb modes have reasonable options and actually work. My last few months of using Windows at work I just stopped trying to disable crap because every time I would wake up to a forced update it would just reset anyway.
Because windows sysadmins are way more common, I feel like it's impossible to avoid being in the disaster path of an inexperienced windows sysadmin (or security person or IT person) -- even if the mean well! And stuff! ... one day you won't be able to get any work done because they enact some silly change that BREEAAAKS EVERYTHING.
