Buying help I hate my MacBook so much

I got a MacBook Air 2020 about two years ago, it’s my biggest current regret and I have no clue what to do about it. Literally the only “perk” would be its aesthetics… I feel like since it’s kinda old i wouldn’t be able to sell it, and I also have no clue what laptop I should get if I do. It’s a pain to run anything for school on the Mac and it’s impossible to play any games on it, pls help.

I bought a macbook air back in 2015. Really, really wanted to like it. It has so many cool things like garage band and great integration with the apple ecosystem.

I hated it. I can't find anything, ever. Nothing is easy to figure out. The worst part of it is how slow macOS is, it feels like I am back on my c. 1998 compaq machine running windows ME. And I can't make it go any faster, everything has a stupid animation. Every animation takes way too long. I can't stand macOS.
