Have you installed the new macOS Ventura yet? If so, one of its biggest innovations is a feature called Stage Manager, about which much has been written, said and shown since WWDC22. But how does it work on your own skin? I believe newcomers to the system may really love the feature, but all existing users may not even turn it on to try it out.
The fact that even Apple does not believe in the function itself shows that it is not turned on after the system update itself. You have to go to first Settings -> Area and docto turn on the function here (it is faster to turn it on from the Control Center, you can also put it directly in the menu bar). You still have a few options for customizing it, such as if you want to see the contents of the desktop, etc. But its clear and only benefit is that if you own an iPad and you like the function, you have it on both devices, i.e. tablet and computer.
For newbies only
The weakness of the function itself, however, lies in the minimal setting of how much information it displays. On the 13,6" display of the MacBook, for example, it only shows four windows of recent applications, so you still don't see everything you need here and you have to supplement it by using Mission Control. In combination with the dock and multi-window settings, it actually feels extra and is only suitable for those who don't know where to click because they have some help here, i.e. true newbies or those who own a supported iPad before a Mac. One window can contain several applications depending on how you set up your desktop.
It is clear that constantly coming up with something new is a problem in operating systems. In addition, Stage Manager came 16 years after its predecessor with a name shrinkydink, which never made it into the final build of any operating system. If Apple had introduced it back then, it could have changed a lot, but nowadays it all seems like a cry in the dark and it only confirms that Apple, even if it constantly repeats that iPadOS and macOS systems will not unite, they are more and more similar to each other .

I would quite like Stage Manager. But for my MacBook 16″ M1 Max 64GB to have graphics chop while using it seems crazy to me considering the performance of that machine. Maybe I understand why it is disabled by default after installing MacOS Ventura. :)
I turned on Stage Manager on the Mac, tried it, and turned it off. On MacOs, there is no justification if you work with multiple monitors and have your system in use. But how many people have so many opinions. It must suit someone... I can potentially use it on iPadOs. but I don't have an iPad that supports it so I can't judge. Maybe once…
