I’m still trying to sort out macOS keybindings on Linux. I put Arch (EndeavorOS) on a 2015-ish Retina MBP and everything “just works” much to my surprise. If I can sort out keybindings I could probably switch 100% but the inconsistency of clipboard actions from app to app is extremely frustrating.

Usually it's only in terminals that ctrl+c is mapped to BREAK signal instead of copy. Most terminal emulators allows you to remap copy and paste shortcuts. If you remap those to ctrl+c and ctrl+v, you can then have a consistent behaviour behind ctrl+c/v

I'm more a Gnome person myself but there is this[1] if you use KDE.

Have you seen Kinto? It goes a long way to getting full macOS style key bindings
