If Windows is a good GUI, how do I reliably swap caps lock and control?
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys has reliable key remapping. Also has decent window tiling.

Can I refer you to: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

I have no other way to explain the sequence of events that occurred. I expressed doubt that anyone could think the Linux file hierarchy organization was "nice", they responded that it isn't "required" and that AppImage exists. What are they trying to convince me of? What "help" did my post suggest that I needed?
I'm sorry, I'm trying to be reasonable here, but no one has yet explained to me how else I could possibly have interpreted that post.
I spent the last few years using Arch for development. Meh. There’s a lot of over zealous Linux people that defend it rigorously, and while generally things do work pretty well, the devil is always in the details. I just switched back to macOS, downgrading to an old dual core 2015 mbp which runs overall better than my T480 with 32GB of RAM. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to love it, and I believe in the project, but I’…
I believe that there are people who have their Linux boxes configured just right with carefully crafted dotfiles and custom tiling DEs and whatnot, but it's usually people who do coding or writing or some other single thing.
You don't hear often about people who would use their 12-month-uptime-no-crashes-whatsoever machines for coding for a living, a bit of gaming on the side, some hobby-level photography stuff, maybe a bit of music production, and all of that without a single issue.

Swapping left control and caps lock disturbs AltGr, which appears to be a synthesis of left control and right alt.

There's rampant *NIX provincialism out there that's blind to the reality that Windows is basically on par (and even innovative) as a dev environment. Just another form of self-serving elitism.
Windows owns the desktop, laptops, kiosks, and PC games, yet it doesn't have developers, go figure.

I see what you mean. I truthfully don't usually swap and instead leave ctrl-left as is and just re-assign capslock elsewhere (e.g. win-right, or another chord) as the habit of which key to hit for ctrl is hard for me to break. AltGr at least still works in this setup.
Was screensharing with a react native hotshot yesterday, and felt my perceived age doubled to 102 as I suddenly was yelling in all caps, with no quick exit.
