For me, it’s Shared GPU memory.
- Better battery life.
- Cmd based hot keys for cut, copy, paste and close. They don’t collide with others as much, particularly vim based keys.
Can use kinto to change all shortcut on system, even application specific.
How well does it work and how much customisation do you need to do to keep things parallel to Mac shortcuts?
Work very well, almost no bug/failure (maybe 2 year use, popos), has useful tray icon (restart, input debug tool, help, layout change, …).
I think replicate macos almost perfect from start (not remember, too long ago). Except for alt, alt not work like macos for shortcut and key modify, only shortcut or key modify. But can switch shortcut layout and individual shortcut in config file very easy (even has comment what each shortcut).
Only customisation i do make some modify alt instead of shortcut alt and make some shortcut for global shortcut (lock screen, switch to tty) in some app because kinto grab and change input before reach DE. And some shortcut i feel better with.
Kinto use xkeysnail, is full key grabber for x, probably no work on wayland.
A customizable shortcut key would be so good. I’ve tried to set that up on my own to be alt because that’s what Haiku uses but it’s just impossible to get very many applications to follow it. Probably there’s no way to consistently do it without getting every application to follow some standard for determining what it should be.
Hibernation doesn’t work at all on my windows HP work laptop. Sleep has gotten way way better on Linux in the past 2 years even. My desktop that would be buggy going in and out of sleep has now been flawless such that I auto sleep it after 30 minutes.
Battery life on Linux still sucks though.
