If you are used to using gnu user land you’ll be using a utility like brew to install the gnu components. The bsd counterparts are just off enough to find something a bit off on most of them.
I really dislike finder. I’ve not found a sane replacement.
Updates for me took 10-15 minutes. Rebooting a few times. Relegated to answering slacks on phone during that time.
Office is also awful on the Mac. I wound up using office in a windows VM because a lot of stuff was broken opening complex documents.
My newest job I asked for a windows laptop. WSL2 is ok. I just run vscode connected to wsl and do my work there and use native office. Those two apps, postman, and chromium (chrome and slack) is really my stack and it works well enough. I would rather use Linux but our IT department have a big thumbs down since they have no clue what they are doing regarding securing that.
I am not saying it will solve your problems, but I like PathFinder on the Mac. I use Directory Opus on Windows. They fulfill the same niche & need for me. I find Finder and Explorer to be anemic in terms of functionality.
