distro barely matters beyond how you get the packages.

there's a reason arch is popular, it can be whatever you want it to be.

tbh, it sounds like you don't have a great understanding of Linux (not an attack!) so I would definitely stay away from Kali, and other distros like that.

stick with Arch if you're confident you can maintain it, or if you want to have a system which you don't have to poke at Fedora is a great option

Is it possible to create a shim to make keyboard shortcuts act like macOS? I don’t think I can live with ctrl+shift+c when command/super is right there.

Actually I kinda want to throw almost all the desktop/gui conventions for Linux out and do my own thing.

I think you can change your keybinds in Gnome and KDE to do it like you want without any tinkering. I've changed some common shortcuts to superkey ones on Gnome. Not sure about other DEs.
