I don't remember what the exact problems were, but when I tried OSX I found the only way to change some basic keyboard and mouse behaviors was to purchase apps that cost $20-$30 each. I remember not liking the inverted scroll and wanting all 3 mouse buttons to work as I was accustomed to. Also, the non-symmetric keyboard layout was very frustrating (where the Ctr, Super, and Alt keys on reside on PC keyboards).
Knowledge about Xorg config files is admittedly not very useful, but it's been years since I've touched one. Nevertheless I'm glad that those files are there and that I can look up how to edit one if necessary[1].

- Udo 11y agoWe're getting side tracked somewhat, but these preferences are a bit arbitrary. In my experience every platform I ever encountered has both interesting options and frustrating limits to its configurability. If we're being honest, we're just prone to silently live with the weaknesses of whatever platform we're currently fond of using. > Nevertheless I'm glad that those files are there and that I can look up how to edit one if necessary[1]. Well, you can look up how to configure OS X's scrolling direction as well, same as for most customizations where dedicated apps exist that are really just thin wrappers over the command line [1]. 1. http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-manually-change-the-scroll-direction-in-mavericks/ http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-manually-change-the-scroll...
