I have never encountered anyone in real life that prefers Fn/Ctrl on a Windows or Linux machine. I have helped at least a couple of poor souls that had acquired a laptop that does it Fn/Ctrl to flip it in BIOS to the obviously superior Ctrl/Fn.

(macOS, the situation is different because it’s ⌘ you’re mostly aiming for rather than Ctrl, and it’s further in which makes it easily thumbable. On other platforms, Super/Fn/Alt/Ctrl might be a decent order, but I think you’d still probably end up wanting Fn to be second in rather than edge. But really, all I actually want is for Fn to be a regular modifier, please, not handled in the firmware where it only works on a few keys and is just dead on the rest. Fn keys are really stupid in this way.)

Same, so much that it is one of the reason I am holding off buying an M1 (that and the fact that I am still waiting for Asahi to get more polished and that 2013 laptop works just fine were it not for the plastic case that is breaking apart as they always do, which is incidentally the reason why I am eying those Macs, long digression sorry) but I guess Mac users would disagree. Some people like to map Ctrl to Caps Lock as it used to be where it stood on older keyboards. Vim users prefer to map to Esc, but some clever have hackers have it behave like Esc or Ctrl when combined with another key. In the end, as always there are better ways but better ways are not standard and you loose the priviledge on the standard. I have to use other people's machine and I swear the first thing I do is launching a command to remap Caps Lock to Esc else I can't work. Tough call. In the end one gets used to anything, and old habits die hard, change is not welcome. And... Oh ! A better layout than qwerty that looks way more rational, I must try this. I am already writing a blog post in my head lamenting on how that new layout although better does not work well with the rest of the ecosystem.

I mapped Capslock to another Ctrl and haven't paid attention in years.

But yes, Framework firmware FTW.

Because you don't need to move your pinky as far? There's no need to hunt for Ctrl anymore than you need to hunt for left shift. Takes like 10 minutes to get used to.

I actually press Ctrl with the pad under my pinky, as I keep my hands straight (somewhat diagonally across the keyboard). This way you can avoid the crook in your wrists.

Yes! Ctrl+Shift+B is probably my most used keystroke and it's not fluid at all with Lenovo's default Fn placement.
