In macos I don't have to edit random .conf files in system/application directories just to make my wifi work correctly. The graphical UI is configurable enough that I rarely need to modify anything outside of my normal user directories.
Where as in ubuntu the forums/stack overflow usually say "go to this file at /sys/whatever and write in this". Hence the need for full file paths.
The first thing I do on any Mac is to drop into Terminal to run this:
defaults delete com.apple.systempreferences AttentionPrefBundleIDs
Quick example, because I'm trying to make my nas usable on a mac and it's given me a headache.
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YESIt's quite a basic thing, most games include it in their settings yet it doesn't seem important enough to have a setting in the OS itself.
