Re: Has anyone replaced (or added) systemd-boot over grub

FWIW If you want to use systemd-boot try it out with an arch based distro. If you do use systemd-boot, do not expect to keep grub operational, keep the code but don't try to run both at once.

Re: [Hardware] debian keybinding of alt to use like mac

Simply change your default keybindings to map the function you prefer to perform. Most DEs offer a keybinding function. If you rather do it separately (independently) from your DE, you can use sxhkd (you need to install it) or xbindkeys. None of this is distro dependent. https://dev-random.net/make-...

I have experienced a similar problem to yours on multiple Debian and arch distros. The above procedure has made the process ...
