Apps that make macOS closer to Windows 10

    After watching all the videos about the M1 hype I decided to get Mac Air 13 myself.

    The only problem for a Windows user was mac os. To enjoy a similar experience in it, one needs to install certain software.

    Karabiner

    The most important one. The apps create a virtual keyboard to allow create complicated shortcuts. With the helps of the app it is possible to switch Command key to FN. It is also possible to enable language switch with "alt+shift" as it does in Windows.

    I recommend the app to everyone.

    RedQuits

    The second important app is Red quits.

    It is very simple but it makes life on mac much better. It closes application if it has no window. It gets me a Windows experience while pressing "red cross button".

    Con: It can close some apps that need to work in background. if it happens just restart an app.

    HyperSwitch
