Re: A standard for global/desktop environment shortcuts to prevent conflicts with Linux apps

I'm not sure it's relevant. This spec is for FOSS desktop environments. 
Typically you aren't going to be installing Plasma or GNOME on a Mac on 
top of macOS. You might wipe macOS and install a FOSS OS, in which case 
the spec fully applies with no issues.
