MacOS sort of supports it - the help menu for each app has a search box CMD+Shift+/ (or CMD+? If you prefer to think of it like that) will open it up. Each of the menu bar options should be searchable, and the search box will open the requisite menu to the correct branch/leaf and highlight it for you.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I know the Mac has it, I was asking if there is a similar feature on linux.
I just hope they offered another theme , i dont think the current one is very aesthetically pleasing, i love their vision as a company , I just dont like their laptops really, I bought a gazelle a few years back , i loved the unboxing experience and the very good support but it just feels cheap , the keyboard isn’t great either, and is pretty noisy . Seems like all linux laptop manufacturers are using similar chasis…
As I understand it, most Linux laptop manufacturers will gently modify a standard Clevo machine so it works a little better with Linux and leave it at that.

I don’t get the love for iTerm2. I tried it before and see nothing appealing for me over the built in Terminap.app. And it seems to be slower too. On Linux, I just use whatever ship with the distro Gnome Terminal, Konsole... and they work fine.
On iTerm2 my windows are full-screen, black background, zero border or window decorations. I cycle between windows with cmd-` it switches instantly from one full-screen terminal to the next. It's what to me a console should be. Every terminal app I've tried on Windows or Linux insists on having a goddamn window border. I don't want even a single pixel of border. And yes, this is enough to make me a die-hard iTerm2 us…

Maybe join us Plasma users in the dark side. Honestly, it's pretty sweet and you can configure it to look and behave just the way you want it.
I do like that everything is configurable but it can be a huge timesink when trying to tweak everything.
The whole thing took maybe a couple hours of experimentation two years ago, and I've since been running with the same configuration.
I've recently switched from my usual MBP upgrade to System 76 (Oryx Pro). While yes, Apple's walled garden does feel like a Rolls Royce compared to anything, the price tag difference this time was just way too step for me to keep buying a new Mac: It was basically 2x or more for roughly similar hardware, if not slightly worse on the MBP side. Overall, using Pop_OS! with its specialized GNOME3 setup has been a bliss,…
iTerm2 is a beauty, is there a closest equivalent on Linux? There seem to be 25 popular choices especially now with the GPU-accelerated ones. Tried a few of the classics like Termite and they all seemed painfully outdated and crappy compared to iTerm.
Its GPU accelerated and super fast. hard to go back to term after feeling how snappy it is. Plus its available on linux as well!

Unity had its own problems, mostly related to trying to be Mac OSX without being Mac OSX: - Breaking alt-tab - Moving window controls
Or, rather, fixing alt-tab and moving window controls to where they should be. I guess it's a matter of taste and habit. Full disclosure: I'm a former EM for the Unity dev team. I have heard more mindless opinion disguised as fact than you can possibly imagine.
The real problem here is you had an extremely enthusiastic fan base and chose to break everything for many of us.
I tried really hard to like it but for me it was broken and unlike in KDE where I can tweak anything there was no way to fix alt-tab.
Such a minor thing, such a major productivity killer for those of us who rely on years of keyboard experience.
Things System 76 does: maintain their own os distro, desktop environment, coreboot fork, system firmware Things System 76 refuses to do: usbc PD I say this as a very happy S76 customer
