    Since it’s likely that you can’t, you can consider using a remapper to get something you might prefer over your current layout. I personally really like keyd .

    If you want to use Fn as Ctrl because you like the position of Fn, then you’re out of luck. That key likely cannot be rebound.

    If you want Ctrl to act as Fn, then likely you can: Fn+key sends an output that you can monitor with keyd -m. You can then rebind Ctrl+key to return that output.

    On top, you can consider using CapsLock as Ctrl. It’s a very, very nice position for Ctrl, I’d say.
