Do Linux settings translate to osx... At all? I'm struggling to think of any I use across both. Maybe bash.rc?

Osx config is mostly running arcane commands to set registry settings.

I'll never understand people who struggle with windows and like osx. They seem basically identical to me at this point.

It's called Mac OS and is actually a version of UNIX heavily modified by Apple. Linux is basically a copy of UNIX. Mac OS does not have a registry. Mac OS and Windows couldn't be more different. OSX (the X stands for 10) was the versions of Mac OS that had 10 as the major version number that ended with Catalina.
