Hey, I will move soon to macOS as my main os. I am currently using Linux as my main os and from what I know, macOS is similar to Linux. I also wanted to ask some questions beforehand: There are few cli package managers for macOS but which one is the best? Will it be hard for me to use macOS if I am using currently Linux? Which keys on mac keyboard work same as keys on windows keyboard?

I use homebrew as it has good list of package formulas. You can also check out macports.

Colima is a must if you run containers.

Command key instead of control for shortcuts.

Cmd-, app preferences

Cmd-c/x/v for copy/cut/paste

Cmd-shift-4 to capture part of screen (draw a box). Press spacebar to change to window screenshot.

Enable tap to click and extra gestures for the trackpad if you have one. Multi finger swipes are very useful.
