there are multiple ways to change how your keyboard behaves in linux and others in this post have already shared w you what the most common methods are. i want to share w you the lessons i’ve learned from almost 15 years of trying to make mac keyboards act like mac keyboards on linux on my mac computers: there’s no single unifying keyboard schema that will work with mac keyboards across all apps in linux, you will have to implement tweaks for every single thing you use beyond your x-server utilities/apps and you’re out of luck if you’re a firefox user). even if you’re successful in getting your mac keyboard to work exactly as a mac keyboard, an update somewhere will break something and it’s almost always a kernel or x-windows update. distros maintainers who build w mac in mind will be ones to help the most. it was yellow dog linux when i did it, so i would try with Asahi guys before trying anything else. and i hope that you have better luck than i did.
