Yeah, the first thing I do when I get a new Mac is to install some tools to make the experience less annoying.

In my own experience, I found out GNOME 40+ to be more polished UI-wise than MacOS. I was really surprised when I installed Fedora Silverblue the first time. And also I'm a bit upset that MacOS seems to have stalled, and when Apple adds changes is to make it look more and more like iOS.
