Same. I'm kind of shocked how poor basic functionalities on MacBooks are. You need a third party app to tile your windows. If you run in "clamshell" mode, connected to a monitor with the lid down you need to do all sorts of hacks to make it work and it drains battery like crazy and the fan is always whirring. In Linux instead you write two config options in a file and it works like a charm.

MacBooks don't even work with multiple displays. Linux is the opposite. Works with all the displays you can connect.

My work makes us use MacBooks, otherwise I don't have much experience with them. Linux I've been running for 8 years now.
