From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Obviously you should relearn everything. Heck, pick up the Dvorak or Colemak keyboard layout while you're at it!

That toshy thing looks like the right way to go. Wild that this is such a complex issue.
I had to go the other direction (Linux -> apple) for a bit and ended up remapping the caps lock key to command so I could approximate "normal" reflexive (pinky-based) shortcuts. It did sort of simplify copy-pasting in terminals.
Off-topic, but for someone who recently switch to hhkb layout, I find it way more comfortable to activate shortcuts with caps-lock (Ctrl in hhkb) pinky rather than with regular command.
