When I got a macbook from work I was honestly choked at how awful things were.

Even the simplest of tasks required googling. It was so very unintuitive.

I mean, I had to do some weird dragging to install an application!?

Even to this day, I totally avoid using it.

Ah yes, the notoriously unintuitive feature known as… drag and drop.

Err, why couldn’t they do the double click like everything else?

Double click and then do a drag and drop, totally intuitive.

That’s… exactly what you do. macOS software is usually distributed in DMG files (compressed disk images). You download the DMG, open it (with a double click in Finder), then drag and drop the APP file to your Applications folder (or wherever else you want it to be).

Speaking of APP files, the structure of macOS apps is vastly superior to that of Windows, imo. Linux generally has them both beat, but there’s some additional complexity there.

An aside, You can make KDE feel like that, but youd know every hairbrain behavor because you did it yourself.

People who have ever only used one operating system, and tried to apply everything how they use that exactly to a different one are awful. Yeah, different OSs are different, that’s the point of it. That you don’t do everything exactly how you are used on it, doesn’t make the OS bad, you just need some time to get accustomed to some things being different.
The people here are the most biased possible.
