    The scroll thing is annoying. I like the “natural” scroll on a touchpad but not a mouse also.

    The multi desktop is the same as on Windows and Linux… I don’t use it on any system. I like how MacOS handles fullscreen apps better than either of those.

    You can disable the startup sound very easily: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102230

    I have only used mirroring to external monitor and not extending a desktop, so I don’t know. As far as maximization I personally hate windows expanding when I move them to the top of the screen. It’s rarely what I want so I turn it off. If I want to maximize it, I hit the green button.

    You uninstall Apps by dragging their folder from the Applications folder to the trash can.

    Closing the window and leaving the application running is how MacOS has worked forever for some Steve Jobs reason. I am used to hitting Cmd-Q.

    The folder stuff can be weird. The way the Desktop icons work is one of the worst aspects, thigh they kind of fixed that (using expanding smart folders or whatever used to be chaos if they had a lot of items in them).

    You can check the usage of a Volume from right clicking it in Finder and choosing Get Info. Or just df -h
