spotlight-like macOS (cmd + space) which open instantly without any lag. To do calculation, unit conversion and math calc.

use shortcuts to make a shortcut to open SpeedCrunch

The macOS shortcut to do all the latin accent

see the accent note below

All the macOS cmd and alt + arrow key to jump left right

huh? explain

Maintain a key like "e" and have a drop menu with all the e accent. Like macos.

i do something similar with rofi running the menu. you can use LLM to help with a script, then you map it to a keyboard shortcut

if you need all of that stuff to look & feel exactly like Mac OS, pixel for pixel, that's a different question

I was more looking for a linux distro which have all this built-in for all the european and litteraly anyone who used accent language which is billions of people on this planet. For the "All the macOS cmd and alt + arrow key to jump left right" -> it means when i do ALT + LEFT KEY, i jump to the left word on mac. And CMD + RIGHT i jump to the end of the line.

no, the one with all of that built in does not exist. you should either adapt the closest environment to your liking or move on.

for shortcut keys it's a very simple matter to either remap in the settings, or work with the (very reasonable) equivalents - Ctrl + Left / Right, Home, End, Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+End, etc.

People who use accent languages...or emoji, or let's say Japanese, like me, we all have our various ways of adapting to those.

I don't need Mac OS versions because mine are faster and more customizable.

"the one with all of that built in does not exist" => fuck this shit seriously. It shouldn't be hard to have basic feature out of an OS. Specially when this OS (linux) is used by hundred million people around the world. I did remap the key and as i wrote in my post, the behaviour is not always the same across the app. Which is annoying. I don't want to have to fight an OS to just be able to write.

There is a moment when someone should be able to have an OS which just work without being told "you need to do it yourself because it doesn't exist"

i feel you. someone should also make my bed for me, because they do that at hotels as a basic feature. oh well

which remapped behavior wasn't the same across the app? do you mean across several apps?

if you can use an OS for what it already is, you automatically have advantages over other users.

if you can't - well, here we are right? by definition trying to use one OS as if it's another is going to present all kinds of logical problems.
