Switching from Windows to Mac

Keyboard shortcuts are completely different and muscle memory takes about a month to override. Plan for productivity loss.

The software library gap is real for specific tools. Adobe suite, Figma, VS Code — all fine. Anything niche — you might struggle.

Mission Control replaced my Alt+Tab workflow and is now better than anything I used on Windows.

Missing right-click context menu was the biggest adjustment. Mac gestures are more powerful but have a real learning curve.

The first week switching from Windows to Mac is genuinely disorienting. The second week you wonder how you ever used Windows.
