This is how I am with mac os. I’m pretty knowledgeable about computers, so there are a lot of tasks I view as simple that I will attempt to do, only to have it fight me the whole way. I’m sure it’s just that I don’t know proper protocol, but it’s annoying.

Example would be I had some photos on my phone I wanted to put on my mom’s macbook. Okay, I have a cable, just plug it in. Well, it shows up but refuses to show files in usb mode. Okay, the photo editor saw the phone, but it was import all or nothing. It wouldn’t let me send just one folder. Okay… So I can’t copy/paste files from the phone, import is all or nothing. So… I ended up having to put the folder on a usb stick- but the the photo program wouldn’t recognise that as a source to import from, so I had to copy the folder to the desktop and THEN import from that. Something that should have been relatively simple turned into a whole ordeal because it was designed for one type of workflow and I didn’t know all the little tricks to get it to do what I wanted. I know that’s on me for not knowing the easy way ro do it, but when the obvious option ‘import’ doesn’t give me any real options, I have to figure it out.
