(this is an attempt at Cunningham's Law, if anyone had an actual solution I would love to hear it).
OSX window management is...horrendous. I want to be able to have two monitors and simply (with a keypress) move a window to either screen, or to use half of a given screen. Both windows and Linux WMs get this right. In OSX you have (or had last time I tried) two "fullscreen" buttons. One blue button, which maybe made it full screen, but most often just filled the height. Cause it decided that you wanted to see 3cm of the desktop background.... And then some apps, but not all, had a little arrow on the right which made it super-fullscreen! But then it made a virtual desktop, and screw whatever you had on the other screen. And using anything but the mouse? Lol forget it.
I see I sound like I want a flamewar. I don't. I want to buy the M2, but first be told that apple has fixed its shitty UX since last time I tried:-P
It works very well, a native version would probably be better but most of the time I don’t notice it’s running, just press the keyboard shortcuts and move on. There’s also tiling WMs that go deeper, but I haven’t needed them.

There’s a utility called Rectangle that does this: https://rectangleapp.com/
