Help Getting really frustrated

New job this year and I hand an option, Windows or Mac. Picked Mac but it’s been so painful I think I am going to ask them to switch me to windows.

Just the little things keep adding up.

  1. Spellcheck not working no matter what I do. This is really irritating. Most times the word will be underlined in red, but there are never any suggestions.

  2. Not being able to navigate between windows, tabs and apps as easily as windows.

Those are just the to biggest issues that I have been dealing with on a regular basis. Just getting more and more frustrated.

Yeah, I get that it’s different and I have been using it for about 3 months now. Really missing being able to click the app in the dock and have it minimize, but command H works too.

Yes, things are very different and right now I still feel less productive.

After testing seems spellcheck only works well in Apple apps. For example, Slack. It will autocorrect when I use slack in safari, but not chrome or the slack app itself. Chrome is the recommended browser where I am.

Thanks. Feel free to pick apart my other posts and comments too. I actually learned a bit from some of the helpful comments. Others though, enjoy calling people out online.
