Lmfao, bruh, name a way in which it's better than the Windows dock or shut up. Jesus fucking Christ, not everything is subjective, and owning a Mac doesn't mean you need to run out and defend every single fucking decision they've ever made.

When one thing does everything the other thing does, plus can do more, it might be objectively better.

Because again, you make Linux behave exactly the same as MavOS, so your claim that you think the MacOS dock is better than linuxes already shows that you're not arguing from a logical place, just blindly defending tim apple.

You’re going crazy either way this shit, man. I never said it was better. I said I prefer it. You can’t handle that people would like something that you don’t like. Good luck with that attitude. Bye.
