Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

    Keyboard shortcuts are endlessly customizable in KDE. You could always just change them to what you’re used to

      No I know. But there’s no going around the keyboards physically having a different number of modifier keys left/right of the spacebar. Macs have 4 left, 2 right, my desktop keyboard has 3 left, 4 right. And there’s no way that I have found in either KDE or GNOME by which I could wire the Macbook keyboard to function exactly like in macOS in each and every application. There are so many pitfalls if you attempt. And the window management features would be different anyway. And thus my old macbook will always feel like a Mac to my fingers (after using it with macOS for a decade), but behave differently now. I might adjust if I only used Linux, but since I have to use an actual Mac on the daily, it’s not clicking. Cross-use is just not a good experience.
