It wasn't particularly about the UX on Linux desktops, but rather they don't fit in our company culture when it comes to how assets and IT are managed.
Which is why I wrote it from my own perspective as an anecdote.
As usual, YMMV
Well, almost everywhere. And CTRL+F is still a little wonky depending on the app you're in.
In Linux there's a clear separation of CTRL for sending messages to the app --ALT for commands-- and SUPER for messaging the OS.
I found OSX very confusing trying to mix everything into a single key.
Also most terminal emulators will forward all Ctrl combinations directly over the TTY rather than capturing them in the windowing system, so in practice Ctrl-V rarely works in a terminal either. Likewise for Ctrl-W, which is typically bound to backwards-kill-word, etc.
The way it ends up in practice, shortcuts involving the Command key on OSX end up being clearly defined and consistent, because apps typically can't override them.
On most editors it moves me one word, on the command line it inserts the control characters.
Same story for ctrl+backspace and ctrl+a.
("Paste" is on the right-click menu though.)
