- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

Whatever you do, don’t tell this person about macOS.
It took somebody showing me to finally understand what was going on when I first used one back in college
It’s just a different mindset, it has been that way since system 7.
With a modern macOS, you just look for the little dot in the dock or use command-tab to switch through and quit what you don’t want running.
I've had to use mac for work for the last few years and, when I got it, I was super confused. Well, I still am (or angry) generally, but y'know.
macOS 27 now has a thing where if you quit an app (actually quit with cmd+q, not just close the window with the red button) it will stay in the Dock labelled "running in background" if sneakily keeps running.
For anyone using macOS, Vorssaint is a lifesaver.
It has a number of “fixes” for macOS, including quit on close, clipboard access, per-app volume control, and many more.
