I'm still surprised by how bad searching is in MacOS (piefed-media.feddit.online)

Searching for "safari" does not show the Safari application in any of the visible results. I'm about 95% sure that, in previous versions, if any applications were an exact match for your search term, those would show up first.

Meanwhile, to open vivaldi on kde, I just hit alt+space, type "viv" and hit enter. One of these is developed by a trillion dollar company.

    Yep, same here. I have Linux (Debian + KDE) on my personal laptop and it's honestly easier to use than my Mac laptop that I get from work. KDE's file manager is better than Mac's, too, in my opinion.

    I never actually use alt + space in KDE, I'll have to try that sometime. I always just press the super key to bring up the start menu.

    I am a nearly life long windows user who converted to Linux a couple years ago and I just got a MacBook for work and I despise MacOS.

    I have really been trying to be open minded and not be a hater about it, but the entire OS (outside of the terminal) is awful to me. I despise how Apple forces you to use their products the way they want you to and not hire you want to.

    When I was on windows, I used Autohotkey to create and override a lot of shortcuts so I could for example, just do Win+v and it would open Vivaldi, if there wasn't a vivaldi.exe process running. If there was a process running, it would bring any window with "- Vivaldi" title to the foreground and holding the Win and pressing v again would loop through open Vivaldi windows. It was a good workflow for me.

    Haven't really tried to replicate it on KDE and does anyone know if that's even possible?
