These are all conventions and you can change them, but I'm used to Meta = Opt and Super = Cmd on macOS.

  Does that interfere with your being able to use Opt for typing key combos to produce Unicode codepoints that aren't usually found on a "standard" keyboard for your country? E.g., accented characters not found in your country's majority language, Greek letters when you don't have a Greek keyboard, mathematical symbols, and so on? It's been a couple decades since I owned a Mac, and I love Linux's Compose key feature, but I remember that Option+key shortcuts were really good for typing a wide variety of commonly-used Unicode codepoints. How does setting Meta = Opt work with that for you?

    It does, yes. It's a reasonable trade-off for me becaues it's rare that I need to do that and if I do, I use [digraph]s in (neo)vim. The alternatives are usually more disruptive for me, (using Cmd as Meta shadows way more commonly used OS-level shortcuts, using Esc as Meta shadows Escape in Vim, and other TUIs).
