My work flow depends heavily on Win + V and Win + Shift + S, both on my main desktop and RDP’ed into other Windows systems while sharing a clipboard. I’m interested in trying Linux as my daily driver, and I am looking for suggestions that will offer the least friction in how I operate. The above items are must haves and my hope is that the solution “just works” without having to set up a whole mess of macros or workarounds.

I am familiar with Debian and Ubuntu, so Linux will not be a new experience for me, though most of my work has been from command line interactions. My hope would be a distro I can stand up in a few hours that will let me continue to RDP into Windows systems and keep using Windows hot keys on both the Linux desktop and the Windows systems.

    I believe any distro with KDE Plasma will suit your needs. It comes with the exact keybindings for what you are used to from Windows. My personal recommendation would be Fedora (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition). You can use Remmina as the RDP client. From my experience it works the best.

      Except Kate/Kwrite defaults to Ctrl+R for replace, CTRL+H for find selected, and something else I don’t remember. The shortcuts can be changed though.
