I’m typing German on a US keyboard layout and I’m very used to the alt +u-u chord etc to write the Inlauts. I still don’t have a setup on Linux though because I’m used to type this sequence with the left Alt key not the right.

AFAIK at least on GNOME and KDE you can assign any special key to be the compose key, including left Alt.
