The company I work for absolutely must have everyone using it as it's supposed to be much safer to Windows. So I had to spend over $2k for a stupid laptop that won't even run half the apps without hacks like Rosetta. I also hate that there are 3 special keys and command and ctrl are separated.

I am myself a Linux user and using a Mac makes me appreciate Linux so much more. It could be the #1 reason I want to start my own business so I don't have to use a Mac anymore.

Having cmd and ctrl distinct keys is great in a terminal though, no more conflict between "copy" and "kill".

Also you should not "hate" stuff like this, just accept that there are differences between all OSes, they’re tools. There’s tons of things that annoy me in tools I use (including macOS which I still use voluntarily) but it’s just easier to embrace it and use it as intended that trying to mold it in something it’s not.

Rosetta’s not a hack.
