    Hard agree on swapping the CTRL and CAPS LOCK keys. It's the first thing I do on any workstation I have, regardless of OS (Linux, Windows, Chrome, etc). Without it, my muscle memory is lost. There will be no productivity until those keys are swapped.

    Not to pile on to the inevitable loss idea, but the Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell channel has gone a long way to help me understand a lot of higher level concepts, and come to terms with impossibilities.
