Kintosh is great and is a very thorough implementation that is not simple remapping from linux/windows to mac analogs, but also considerate of conflicts in various applications as well. I believe in terminal emulators in Linux, for example, cmd+v will send ctrl+shift+v instead of simply ctrl+v.

There's some drawbacks, though. Wayland support doesn't exist. It's still a "hack" rather than a system wide adoption of MacOS keybind paradigms. It can't possibly account for all edge cases.

I would say if you're looking for advanced remapping of keys in linux you might want to look at Interception Tools[1] since it works on both X and Wayland, though programmable keyboards with QMK or ZMK are still going to generally be a better option.

macOS is a UNIX, but it's not Linux. It doesn't use X11 or Wayland, any more than Android does.

If you removed Quartz, there would be no GUI left.

If that's what you want, then there is Darwin out there.

https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu

There have been various efforts to make it run as a standalone OS with X11:

• Pure Darwin: http://www.puredarwin.org/

• Open Darwin: https://archiveos.org/opendarwin/

• Next BSD: https://github.com/NextBSD/NextBSD

But they aren't much use.

If you just want tiling windows, then I use Rectangle:

For me that replaced Spectacle when that was discontinued:
