Hey, I will move soon to macOS as my main os. I am currently using Linux as my main os and from what I know, macOS is similar to Linux. I also wanted to ask some questions beforehand: There are few cli package managers for macOS but which one is the best? Will it be hard for me to use macOS if I am using currently Linux? Which keys on mac keyboard work same as keys on windows keyboard?

Recently switched to mac. You should get a mac keyboard. Under mouse advanced settings turn off mouse acceleration. Reverse the scroll direction because it's opposite on mac for some stupid crackhead reason. For window management you should install Rectangle so you can snap your windows to halfs etc similar how windows 10 works.

The "Windows" app on app store is native RDP and it's very good if you need RDP.

Not dev related but assuming you are on ARM cpu you can natively play Switch games with Ryujinx. rutracker has all the games.

Yeah, I definitely need to get Mac keyboard, when using it my brain switches to windows layout, also some keys don’t work as they should (double f5 functions), for window management I already installed rectangle. Also thanks for telling me about „Windows” app however I don’t use windows so I don’t need it. Also I think that you shouldn’t be talking about piracy here
