"Amaze, amaze, amaze!"

I wonder if there would be interest in an Asahi Remix spin focused on a more Mac-like out-of-the-box experience: cmd as the main modifier key, Mac-like keyboard shortcuts, theming, gestures, etc.

Of course, you can tweak any distro however you want, but I think a curated default experience is a different thing.

Cmd as a “main” modifier?

Ok typical X/Wayland setups, Cmd is already the main modifier for DE features, while Ctrl is the modifier used at an application level.

There would be a lot of weird overlap with changing that.

I've managed to get close enough w/ kde. I just asked claude code to implement it for me, and it web searched and built config files.

Cmd as main modifier is lost battle. I've tried it multiple times. In the end just accepted ctrl life and sold my last macbook.
