Sharing in the hope it helps even one person on the fence to convert. C. 2012 I swore never to use Windows again, and I've managed it! It is possible - macOS is really good (you'll have to unlearn your muscle memory of the Ctrl key) and Linux gaming has come a long way. If using Windows professionally, consider installing it in a VM on your mac or linux box, then asking your agent to set up scripts that remote to to it (eg. via ssh) and do the required tasks (builds, headless test-runs etc) - remotely. Offtopic for the GDID thing; but couldn't be more on topic if you think the market shouldn't tolerate GDIDs and such things.

> you'll have to unlearn your muscle memory of the Ctrl key There is another option, which is to use Karabiner to revert to PC-like shortcuts. Learning the mac way is probably better if you plan to use mac exclusively, but I was triple-wielding macos+windows+linux for a period and I wanted my muscle memory to work across all of them.

  Aren't a lot kg the mac ones just Command plus the same button ? My brain has learned pretty well to code switch between OS at this point. It's actually really too bad MacOS doesn't have some of the windows key shortcuts like "windows key + arrow key". Would be super useful.

      That moves the current window around between screens and multiple monitors and can maximise and minimise ?

        There are limits to how much I buttle.

  Y'all really overcomplicate stuff. Redefining/switching cmd and ctrl is a basic and easy to find option in Mac settings.

    You can't get from Mac-style shortcuts to PC-style shortcuts just by reassigning individual keys. If you swapped them then Ctrl+C would no longer emit a terminal break, for example.
