Apple f***ed up big time. This is one of those issues Frederighi should be raked over the coals for. This is AOSP level shit, honestly. I did the fix, though and tested it. All good now.

They've fucked up their update program by reducing internal testing and relying on everything to be caught by beta testers of their Insider program. That and forcing the updates on you

Issues patch to fix something broken only to break something else. 
Maybe people are just updating it wrong.

Here are the rest of the startup keys
I don't like how there isn't any uniformity in these startup keys. I remember the letters but then I can't remember if I'm supposed to hold to down command with the letter or not.

entering your admin password anytime keychain needs to be accessed isn’t inconvenient.
you know what’s inconvenient, having all your passwords exposed.
that said i think I some how set my Mac to ask for my admin password whenever keychain needs to be accessed.
Keychain is also required to be unlocked, something that happens by default when a user logs in to their account on a Mac.
Keychain can be locked by opening up the Keychain app, but an admin password then needs to be entered whenever an application needs to access Keychain, which can be inconvenient.

Most software has bugs, but that one is pretty bad. I don't store passwords in keychain, though

Window management in macOS sucks compared to Windows. Multi-monitors are dreadful. Full screen apps, or side by side apps are unnecessarily complex and janky

Thanks, at first I thought it was just a utility that added Aero Snap functionality to macOS but I see it has the move window to next display command which is really nice. It's only a buck in the Mac App store, I'd recommend anyone else pick it up.
My big issue is with full screen apps which Magnet doesn't fix. Though if you go to Settings > Dock and change "Double-click a title bar to "zoom" it will maximize a window but not take it full screen. So maximized window + Magnet gives you a pretty similar capabilities as Windows.

So, you gotta pay for full screen stuff? Weird, but Apple.

Dashboard is officially removed with MacOS Catalina.
honestly I forgot this feature existed and thought it was removed many iterations ago.

Apparently sidecar only works with 2015 or newer Macs(?)http://www.macrumors.com/2019/06/05/...has-touch-bar/
and apparently there is a workaround (for now)
