Swiping up with 4 fingers will display all windows for you to select the one you want. Then CMD+TAB or CMD+` if you want to cycle.

Like macOS by default might not be exactly fitting for everyone, but surely it works well enough for 99.999% of the population.

And coming from Linux users who love customizability... I mean there are multiple ways to make it work exactly as you want. I have snapping, and multiple gestures to position and resize exactly to my liking, through BetterTouchTool. And I am a very light user.




with fullscreen, you just swipe left and right without even touch the keyboard, moving the cursor or look at screen to pick window you want as long as you remembered the order.

The window experience is really scuffed on mac compares to the fullscreen/desktop workflow (and apple even decides to swap maximize with go fullscreen because they expect you to use it so you need hold opt if you want to maximize.)

I highly doubt where the 99.999% comes given apple itself don't really recommend it.


For full screen to work as you you’d have to have all of your applications full screen, more or less. I just don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone who used it as their main way of working.

Not sure I follow what you mean by Apple not recommending it. Recommending what?
