I think Pop OS! + Toshi for keybindings is the best Mac-like experience. Toshi gives me all the main Mac keyboard shortcuts and in recent years Pop OS has built in something close enough to Spotlight and the dock, that covers the things I find most important about the Mac experience.

Thanks for sharing Toshi. I've been very interested in Cosmic DE recently and have been playing with it with a Virtual machine. Will definitely try Toshi tonight!

I used to use Windows and using control key for everything was leading me to have severe wrist pain. That ended ~14 years ago when I was forced to use Macbooks for work. The position of the command key and using my stronger thumb for all shortcuts is so vastly superior to stretching my pinky to reach control. It's bizarre the rest of the industry is still stuck with this design. I wish system76 and pop os would be strongly opinionated about this and design their laptops and keyboards to be more mac-like and use something like Toshi as the default. I had a mini rant about this on reddit recently. I still find it bizarre that System76 made the launch keyboard with a different layout for the super key than their laptops.

Now‘s not the best time to try Pop OS!, unfortunately, as they’ve been focused on Cosmic. They’re making progress, though, so I hope the benefits of Cosmic will pan out, and we’ll soon be in the best time to try Pop OS!.
