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?

Sadly no, you can't have per device, the input language applies system-wide.

I'm the other way around - I want all keyboards to always be a British English layout, even if the printing on the keyboard doesn't match it. I don't care what's on the keys, I just want what happens to match my muscle memory.
