Hey, I will move soon to macOS as my main os. I am currently using Linux as my main os and from what I know, macOS is similar to Linux. I also wanted to ask some questions beforehand: There are few cli package managers for macOS but which one is the best? Will it be hard for me to use macOS if I am using currently Linux? Which keys on mac keyboard work same as keys on windows keyboard?

This one got me too. Coming from Linux, I was expecting just about anything but dragging an icon (from a disk in my case) into "Applications"

Feels very clunky and cumbersome to me, but i'm sure some folks love it.

Another wild one is that you can dismount a USB drive by dragging its desktop icon into the trash!

Feels to me like doing that would be bad and should delete it!

Fortunately, you can also right-click and eject, or click the eject icon in finder, which is to me much more intuitive.
