If you don't like how Mac scrolls with the external mouse, use Mos to fix the natural scrolling :)
- brew install mos
Use monitor control to handle the brightness with ease on external monitor (weird issues on Samsung monitor though!!)

For those who don't like the screenshots coming up on desktop you can change the screenshots folder to other folder
- defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /../Screenshots
- killall SystemUIServer
Use Command + Q to close the apps (if you are coming from windows clicking the red icon does not quits it here)
If you are annoyed about desktop revealing itself on clicking the desktop wallpaper then
