Like most people here on HN, I have experienced all 3 major OSes (Win, Mac and various Linux distros/DEs).
One of the points where MacOS struggles when compared to other OSes is, in my opinion, multi monitor support.
I'm not sure why, but it seems to me that Apple decided that multi-monitor was not a very important use case and it got de-prioritised (maybe they wanted to push users towards one single, large monitor?), as a result the multi-monitor experience on Mac is not on par with other desktop environments.
I'm not saying that the bugs in the post could not happen on other desktop environments, or that other desktop environments don't have bugs of their own, but in general it seems to me that on several Linux DEs and on Windows, I can get a smoother multi-monitor experience than on MacOS.
I’m a full time macOS user with multiple screens and haven’t used multiple screens on Linux and Windows in ~15 years. But what is missing from macOS? There was a time when I had displays that got switched around but that was fixed. I can set individual display resolutions, scaling, rotation, colour profile, and relative positions.
it would require some time to properly describe the various issues but they are mostly related to 2 thematic areas: window management/snapping in place when in multiple screens and using specific features (e.g. dock, full screen apps) in a multi screen environment. And more in general it's just the presence of little bugs here and there that makes the experience not particularly smooth, for example there are some gestures that you can do when your screens are positioned side by side, but not when your screens are positioned on top of another
