> As a developer who mostly wants a Mac-like Linux distro without the associated noise I'm required to use Ubuntu at work. Coming from Mac, apart from the menu bar at the top, on Gnome, I've been able to customize the keyboard shortcuts, remap the keyboard so that Ctrl works like Cmd, and use extensions like Dash to Dock[1] and themes like Whitesur[2] to replicate something that almost works like a Mac. The keyboard remapping and customizing keyboard shortcuts were all done within default the default settings app. The only things missing are some keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+A/V to move to the beginning and end, and the Ctrl+Shift+C/V behavior on the terminal instead of Cmd+C, which I've just worked around by using VSCode's terminal and configuring it to copy when I press Ctrl+C with some text selected.

The fact that you think this is acceptable shows that you don't appreciate the difference. Again, I haven't used Omarchy but the docs claim that Super + C and Super + V work everywhere, not with all the different exceptions you mention. | ||

if you reset the keyboard shortcuts to their defaults and install toshy you can get the ctrl-a/e stuff and copy and paste in the command line with cmd-c/v and a lot of the other mac like keyboard shortcuts. it's really plug and play and works well... can't recommend it enough. (though there are some edge cases that may require some tweaks but overall it's great) | ||
