Switching from macOS to Pop _OS
I haven't tried but it seems like you could use a keybinding daemon to effectively remap any application by changing layer in response to window focus changes.
See Ktrl + alt or Kmonad

KMonad gives you superpowers & you'll end up using it everyday
I found the configuration a bit confusing, and an alternative I ended up using is https://github.com/ItayGarin/ktrl.

It's 2021. There is still no option to rebind keys in a Paradox game
On Linux you could use ktrl layers to change the keyboard layout on the fly.

A way to set up different keymap for a specific usb keyboard ?
Maybe try ktrl
-
How to bind layout switching to separate key for each layout?
ktrl is based around this idea with layers.

Just mapped my caps lock to escape for the first time...
Bruh, next level is mapping caps lock to both ctrl and esc using a tap dance daemon https://github.com/ItayGarin/ktrl

Caps Lock Behaviour Disabled in Gnome
I prefer dual-key-remap[0], it maps caps to escape when tapped and control when pressed with other keys.

Survey: What's your favorite remapping of Esc?
https://github.com/ililim/dual-key-remap this has been working like magic for me

How to make my pinkie and vanilla keybindings get along?
All you need is dual mode modifiers - remap your spacebar to act as Ctrl when pressed and generate space symbol when released. You can make it with xcape on linux and with dual-key-remap on windows. It is also something for macos, but I never used it.

Mapping Ctrl to Caps Lock
I use this on Windows: https://github.com/ililim/dual-key-remap, and it works pretty well.

janus-key: give keys a double function (normal keys as modifiers)
I am long term fan of Space-Ctrl dual role key - must have for any emacser imo. Now I'm using https://github.com/ililim/dual-key-remap on windows and https://github.com/alols/xcape on Linux. Are your app has any advantages against these two?
-
Space bar as control
You definitely should try dual-key-remap! I also struggled with Dual, and it was a big relief to find that gem. Just place file named config.txt near executable with that content: remap_key=SPACE when_alone=SPACE with_other=CTRL

Set Capslock to Meta Key on Windows
I used to use uncap to remap caps lock. Now I use dual-key-remap so I can have ctrl and escape on the same key. Both have worked well for me and don't require admin rights.
