Got a Macbook for the first time. What next?

I have been a Windows user with a pinchful of Linux Mint here and there for all of my life. I have got 15" Macbook Air M2 from my company. Ive installed basic software and now need to set it up properly.

What should I do? What apps should I download? What settings and configurations should I change?

Reduce number of apps in taskbar . You can stop some startup apps. That is some basic stuff which keeps frustration low in my case πŸ˜…

I'm not an expert ... But after viewing and analyzing the post from beginning to end, line by line word by word, letter by letter I came to the conclusion and I can say, that I can't say anything because as I said at the beginning, I'm not an expert
