My strategy has been to stick to everything Gnome on Ubuntu. In gnome tweaks you can even turn on ctrl-a and ctrl-e! Everything feels consistent

Really wish Linux followed macs example of using super instead of ctrl for copy/paste/etc in general though…

Many window managers, especially tiling, use super key extensively for shortcuts. This feels more like an acquired taste/habit than anything. Making applination-level shortcuts follow Windows make more sense for onboarding. Many keyboards have dip switches to swap the keys if you really cared.

I just disagree on this front, at least as a power user. Mac is able to have window manager shortcuts as well!! The problem is that I want to have copy/paste and I want to have my emacs-style movement keys, but because of Linux DMs choosing to use the same key for both we end up with ctrl-shift-c
