One week?<p>That is way too short to experience all the fun and joy coming your way.<p>The fun begins all over again whenever you start trying to make changes --- like say for a system upgrade. It&#x27;s better to just wipe everything clean and start over.

&quot;The location of the Fn and Control keys are swapped. And, of course, neither computer allows re-mapping the Fn key&quot;<p>On MacOS: Settings -&gt; Search for &quot;Customize Modifier Keys&quot;<p>The Fn key is what they call the &quot;Globe&quot; key now. You can map any of the five (including caps lock) keys to anything.

My solution - use Linux for servers, use Mac OS for your client. Also, treat your servers as cattle.
