Since the discussion is about making MacOS more usable, do you have something to recommend to switch between windows and not applications using command+tab, and to have a dock that shows all the windows easily, grouped per application. Because the default MacOS windows manager is really crappy when you have more than one window of the same application. I would also enjoy a maximize button that does maximize the windo…

Command + ` does that.

Does Exposé not work for you? F3 by default, I think?

You might want to try opt-clicking the window maximise button. This maximise window size, in context of the content. May not always be full screen, but as big as the content needs.
isnt it kind of ridiculous that these apps have to exist because usable input isnt high on apple's list? like paying fir window snapping is one thing, but non wacky input.. ugh
Rectangle [0] is FOSS and may satisfy your window arranging needs. [0] https://rectangleapp.com/

Contexts is a good cmd+tab replacement/supplement. You can try it for free. https://contexts.co/ Hold option while clicking maximize and the window will do what you want.
I had mixed results with the option key pressed while clicking maximize, some apps such as safari gets slightly bigger by a random amount that is probably a failed tentative to guess the optimal size.

Command ` (or Command ~) switches between app windows. You can also use exposé, recently renamed to mission control to view all app windows. It looks like the default key binding for application windows is Control-↑ and for all windows is Control-↓ edit: you can also bind these to mouse buttons in system preferences.
This is great. Scroll Reverser + scroll acceleration fix in one app. If you can also figure out cursor acceleration, you'll have a hit. The only app that correctly disables cursor acceleration is SteelSeries ExactMouse.
And while we're talking about the effort needed to get sane mouse behavior for serious CAD/3D editing/art/gaming, it is way too hard to reliably disable cursor acceleration on Linux. There are at least three different X11 mouse drivers on Ubuntu: the really old one, the evdev one, and the newest libinput one. (I don't even know what you have to do for Wayland... never got there....) So if you web search "disable mouse accel linux" you likely get the wrong directions (at least I did) because you might be using the libinput driver and the instructions you found are for evdev. One unreliable method I tried involves setting a matrix. This at first works and then you eventually discover some apps like Blender develop cursor jump bugs....
So the reliable method is....
If using libinput mouse driver you do something like this:
$ xinput --set-prop 'Cooler Master Technology Inc. MM710 Gaming Mouse' 'libinput Accel Profile Enabled' 0, 1
If using evdev mouse driver you do something like this:
$ xinput --set-prop 'pointer:Cooler Master Technology Inc. MM710 Gaming Mouse' 'Device Accel Profile' -1
To figure out your mouse name string like the MM710 example I used above you do this:
$ xinput --list
The number of tweaks I've needed to research and implement for both Mac and Linux are one reason I'm now currently using Windows + WSL for getting stuff done. I want to solve computer science problems more interesting than configuring my mouse and my window manager vsync tearing / compositor issues....

Exposé is not the same no.
The option click algorithm that decide how big the window should be hasn't impressed me to say the least.

This was the biggest thing that annoyed me when switching from Windows. I’ve been using SizeUp for 5 years now without any problem and it’s great, especially when using a 4K screen (quarter screen window tiles).
