They’re talking too much business to be a ‘private’ search. They don’t make any effort to explain how their search is private at all (except the 90/10 share model).

My recommendation? No. Don’t.

I’m an ex Windows user, current Linux and Mac user. Keyboard shortcuts on Linux are much closer to Windows conventions compared to macOS. I wouldn’t recommend using a Mac keyboard with Linux. I’d only recommend it if you want to use both Linux and macOS with the same keyboard (you will be happier in this case, because using macOS with a Windows keyboard sucks, vice versa).

If you don’t like the Windows key design, get a keyboard with a custom one.

I use dict.cc because they support the context menu action to look up definitions.

• Firefox (often preinstalled)
• Thunderbird
• Code
• FreeTube & Stremio
• Apostrophe
• KeePass
• Nextcloud
• Syncthing
• yt-dlp

That’s a long list of changes, wow.

Personally, I’m not considering Vanilla OS just yet. It does too many things in a custom way. I am however keeping an eye on the project, since they have interesting ideas and they’re making progress in the area of immutable distributions (which will be the future I figure).
