Comment on PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you)

It also turns off the status bar / app menu, even though you don’t get that screen space back because of the camera notch.
How many virtual desktops you have and which one is active is specific to each connected display, so I hope you’re good at remembering their order and purpose and don’t mind performing several gestures to get back to your app.
You might just want to maximize your app window instead. Though you do need third-party software to do that properly.
I wish I was kidding about any of this.

I’ve used apps in fullscreen for as long as it’s been possible, and I’ve honestly never found it confusing at all.
You can move them across displays. Just open Mission Control then drag it from one screen to another. Or drag it to a desktop if you want.
As for maximising; just double click the bar at the top of the window. No extra software needed.
Now that macOS supports window tiling there’s a number of ways to lay out app windows. Fuck Stage Manager though. I’ve never been able to work out the point of it.

Dragging them on Mission Control hasn’t worked for my apps. I’ve had to exit fullscreen, move screens, then reengage fullscreen.
The double-click to maximize often doesn’t work. Many windows either do nothing, or resize only to a specific size, or maximize only vertically. Totally not infuriating.
Rectangle is the tool I use to make windows behave.

Yeah, that’s odd. As long as an app is in fullscreen you should be able to drag it from screen to screen when Mission Control is active.
As for the double click; Finder will only maximise the height without changing its width, but all the other apps I tried filled the desktop.
