I'm using Linux distros for like 10 years now and recently I (again) didn't even know how to close a window. Is it Super+W? Super+Q? Alt+F4? All of those 3 might work. How do I access app preferences? Ctrl+Alt+P? Ctrl+Alt+O? Ctrl+Alt+S? You know, because "preferences", "options" and "settings". All those shortcuts work depending on the app.

At least Linux and Windows shortcuts are easier to remember as they start with basically words, not a combination of weird symbols you never learn cause you never look at them (cause who looks at the keyboard when they type).

  Not everyone is English speaking. Mac shortcuts are very easy to remember because they are consistent. I'm not sure what weird symbols are we speaking about? Cmd and Option buttons? They have both a symbol and a name. What about Ctrl and Alt? What's the difference? I used to hate Mac shortcuts, because I never really spent more than 30 minutes with the system. I think there is nothing to hate - they are just different and IMO better.
