The first is something I guess I don’t do. It looks like you have three similar reasons. And that is ultimately why I end up using my work Mac, even for personal stuff I would prefer to be on Linux.Īh, I see. So now I have to remember that special terminal app to use, and that the cancel command is different, on top of the fact the key binding are on different keys also. 1/2 the time I use the system terminal though, and then the command is back to Linux native. In the end, the best solution was to find a terminal app where I could switch the copy command with the cancel command, and then I just have to remember when I'm on my Linux system, cntrl+shift+c is to cancel a command. Seems so simple till you dig in and try to accomplish it. Then each application has its own key mapping, so even if you change the system copy/paste, chrome and any other app may have it practically hard coded - they are not all configurable and that includes most terminal applications. Like yourself, I also thought Linux would be capable, until you actually dig in to do it and realize it's a nightmare of different conflicts.įor starters, that super key is usually for the main menu/dashboard in most Linux os's and intentionally not easy to remap. Yeah, as the other person pointed out, it's not that simple. We need more companies like them selling Linux pre-installed. I do think they get a lot right, and love that they open sourced their BIOS for their laptops. I do support them though and may purchase one of their laptops in the future and sure - I would love to work for System76 - despite not yet using their OS on anything besides a VM. Most Ubuntu based distros don't change the installer so much that proper btrfs support is broken. Sad - because I would have dog fooded Kinto.sh seriously on Pop_OS! had they supported btrfs properly w/ snapshot support. It felt like Pop_OS! went out of their way to rewrite the own custom installers and then just decided not to support btrfs for whatever opinionated reason? I dunno - but it made me rather unhappy with the situation and I switched back to my Ubuntu Budgie distro of choice. I did get past that, but then I had an issue with wanting to use btrfs for snapshot features - the installer though does not setup your partitions correctly for that. I had issues with the installer due to it not liking a network ethernet device I believe. ![]() I actually was trying to target Pop_OS! to use as a daily on a desktop of mine, but. That said, I absolutely consider it basically an incredible miracle that the experience is as good as it is, frankly. ![]() The problem is how disintegrated everything is and the thousand papercuts ways in which it works. The trouble with Linux as a desktop for me isn't weather it's beautiful or not. I'm going to give Pop_Os a try, but I suspect I'm going to run into the same problems I always do. If I'm ever fabulously wealthy, I already know I'm just going to finance an open source fastidious spiritual successor to MacOS 10.6 I've been full-time Linux (Kubuntu) for a few years now, and I've hobbled together something that only irritates me to death about 30% of the time rather than the 100% of the time it used to before spending days and days fiddling with a bunch of different flavors of remapping at nearly every layer of the system. ![]() ![]() All I want in life is a Linux distro with a package repo full of meticulously reworked & reconfigured packages that make all the keyboard shortcuts across the entire system and every application be like and be as consistent as my old Macs.
