PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you) (www.youtube.com)

PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?

I've used apps in fullscreen for as long as it's been possible, and I've honestly never found it confusing at all.

You can move them across displays. Just open Mission Control then drag it from one screen to another. Or drag it to a desktop if you want.

As for maximising; just double click the bar at the top of the window. No extra software needed.

Now that macOS supports window tiling there's a number of ways to lay out app windows. Fuck Stage Manager though. I've never been able to work out the point of it.

Dragging them on Mission Control hasn't worked for my apps. I've had to exit fullscreen, move screens, then reengage fullscreen.

The double-click to maximize often doesn't work. Many windows either do nothing, or resize only to a specific size, or maximize only vertically. Totally not infuriating.

Rectangle is the tool I use to make windows behave.

Yeah, that's odd. As long as an app is in fullscreen you should be able to drag it from screen to screen when Mission Control is active.

As for the double click; Finder will only maximise the height without changing its width, but all the other apps I tried filled the desktop.
