Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.

It has. I use it everyday. It’s shit. Apple keeps moving windows to different desktops without user interaction, I can’t snap windows to each other, full screen takes over a whole desktop and ESC inside such a window puts it back to some random state.

Better Touch Tool did a better job a decade or so ago.

full screen takes over a whole desktop

and creates it. It’s a whole new workspace just for putting an app in fullscreen and none of the shortcuts to jump to workspace x work with it of course.

The rest of the WM can be made bearable but there’s no way around that stupid design choice.

Can you use a different extension/plugin?

I’m not sure what you mean? It’s a basic feature of the macOS window manager. Pressing the fullscreen button on a window does all of this.

There is a program in the Mac App Store called Magnet, could try that. I think there are some others.

Magnet seems to be a window management shortcut thingy like rectangle but probably worse, costs money and likely to enshittify.

It cannot influence how the macOS window manager works internally, it can only ask it to e.g. place a window in a certain location.
