I went from a lemur 14" to a Mac m1 and the following things broke: - dual monitors were detected only as one monitor, and we're mirrored. - USB mouse (I disprefer Bluetooth mice) would have to be unplugged and plugged back in if the laptop went to sleep - no home/end keys - I had installed all of my corporate 2FA stuff on safari and safari would randomly drop me from Google meets. No other browser had this issue. The ctl/option madness definitely tanked my productivity while I had the laptop but I figure I would have learned it eventually.

The monitor issue only happens the first time you plug in the monitor (like with every laptop or computer I’ve ever owned, even the Lemur Pro). After you setup your monitors, it remembers the setup every time you connect after. Yeah agreed with a corded USB mouse, I just have mine plugged into my monitor, one usb c cable to my laptop for video, power, and data. Lemur Pro did this just as good as my Mac, no complaints there. Home and end I’m pretty sure is just CMD + left arrow, and CMD + right arrow. Totally agree, safari is a crap shoot. I used Firefox on my Lemur and on my Mac. I actually ended up remapping my Lemur Pro so that the modifier keys matched the placement of a Mac. I like my main modifier (ctrl on Linux/win, cmd on Mac) to be the key just next to the space bar. I liked the Lemur Pro a lot. Just trying to give some constructive feedback.

  > The monitor issue only happens the first time you plug in the monitor Incorrect. I had several Mac users look at it and none could figure out what was wrong. I suspect apple drivers don't support usb-c to dual display port. Lemur has no problem with usb-c to dual displayport. Job eventually replaced Mac with a librem (which I don't love), it also had no problems.

> - no home/end keys > The ctl/option madness definitely tanked my productivity I am forced to work on a Mac at my job. Buying a Mac-layout mechanical keyboard is a must. It has home/end and it has control in the right place (why on earth would apple put fn in the bottom left??).

  I wonder the same thing, but opposite. Why in the world would windows/linux put their main modifier key all the way in the bottom left? On every keyboard (I have a Moonlander, a Mode65, and Mode80, I map the keys to match a default Mac. So it is like ctrl -> alt -> super.

> no home/end keys Command + left or right will do it. Works great on a laptop or small keyboard where you don’t have home/end.
