Well, mapping the keys on the keyboard is more of a function of the Desktop Environment (Gnome, KDE, Xfce, etc) than Linux.

But you should use what works for you. Computers should be your tools, not your master.

Which is the downside of a good thing. Variety of distros can enable faster and greater improvement, yet what works on one distro may not work on another. I think i was finally able to get that remapp to work on Fedora, but none else.

I am just reacting against the hype that the Linux Desktop is superior to Windows, just as i do to those who promote Chrome over Firefox, when in both cases the user has hardly touched the surface of what the latter can do, though in the case of Linux, that means without having to learn coding, something specific to the distro.

And i think Linux has far more potential than it has realized.
