> Going from Mac to Linux, I felt that the shortcuts in Mac were worse.

They're so much better on Mac, that it's not even a comparison. Mac shortcuts feel like they're designed by someone who actually types on a keyboard. Using COMMAND, that is naturally mapped by a thumb, is so much better than reaching for CTRL. And don't even get me started on idiotic Windows machines having CTRL as left most button that obliterates your pinky and instantly requires remapping some other key, like CAPSLOCK.

> All other shortcuts are also a bit better on Linux. Ctrl + J for downloads in Chromium. Ctrl+ H for history. Ctrl + Tab to move through tabs. Ctrl + T for new tab. On Mac, they're very inconsistent.

Mac shortcuts are literally consistent across all applications, unlike Linux.
