MacBook-friendly Ubuntu tweaks

I recently decided to switch from macOS BigSur 11.7.10 to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS after Apple decided to no longer provide updates for my MacBook Pro 11,1. During this transition I learned about various tweaks to improve user experience for MacBook users.

As a MacBook user you are probably used to keyboard shortcuts involving the ⌘ command key like ⌘ command+C and ⌘ command+V to copy/paste respectively. However, in Ubuntu pressing the ⌘ command key by default will open the Activities Overview which is similar to the Exposé view in macOS which is not what we want. As it turns out, Ubuntu involves the control key for almost all combinations you may be used to that involve the ⌘ command key in macOS. Luckily Ubuntu is quite configurable and we can tailor it to our needs.

🤗Huggingface Model Downloader

Note

(2026-06-18) Add 📊Download Progress, 🔁integrity-aware resume (re-fetch missing or changed files), and fast, resumable listing for 📚repos with massive file counts.
(2025-01-08) Add feature for 🏷️Tag(Revision) Selection, contributed by @Bamboo-D.
(2024-12-17) Add feature for ⚡Quick Startup and ⏭️Fast Resume, enabling skipping of downloaded files, while removing the git clone dependency to accelerate file list retrieval.

Considering the lack of multi-threaded download support in the official huggingface-cli, and the inadequate error handling in hf_transfer, This command-line tool leverages curl and aria2c for fast and robust downloading of models and datasets.
