I really wish I could help but my experience with Linux is limited to my breaking desktop mode on steam deck from time to time.
My advice is to go through the settings app and just take time to read everything. There are YouTube tutorials made for people trying to make Mac more like windows that will teach you things that even longtime Mac users like myself may not be aware of because we never thought about it.
There’s a console app that lets you put in manual commands not unlike Linux, but my experience with that is very limited.
Will be fun when the brown shirts show up to ensure Trump’s will is enforced.
