There used to be smaller keyboards. Chyrosran22 reviewed one from the 80s, but I can't find the video right now. Maybe someone else remembers the model.

I switched to colemak-DH a while ago and it's been great. Much more comfortable than QWERTY even on a standard keyboard.

Keyboards are generally known about, but the ergo part of it is a rabbit hole within the rabbit hole. Some people literally design, 3D print, wire up, solder and program one-off keyboards because they don't like the ones made by other people.

Add some punctuation, this is impossible to make sense of.

It isn't a huge company and adhering to regulations on data collection costs money. If they don't operate in your country, not offering the website at all is the cheapest thing to do, so it almost surely isn't malice.

Implementation is the actual code with the logic that does the thing you want it do, as opposed to the command, which is how you tell the system what it should do.

The command can be the same on multiple OSs, but the implementation can be different.

In case of Linux and the coreutils (which are the basic programs you need beside the kernel to make a functioning system, stuff like mkdir) the most common implementation of all the coreutils is the one made by GNU. Stallmann did a lot of work on that so he wants credit for making a big part of the OS.

But then I'd have to pick something that doesn't reveal anything about me, why should I make that effort?

Meanwhile Unix has been running X since 1984. All the others are just copycats.

Because we have a name already and aren't looking to share any personal info.

Those were just as rectangular, but not very sharp. Razer really missed an opportunity there.

The Essential PH1 was notorious for having very sharp edges. The second picture is real, that was actually possible with some effort. I could imagine the first one is real too.

If Google does push web DRM through, edge will surely adopt it. The best time to switch is now and there will no second best time if they actually do it.

Adjusted for inflation, I'm pretty sure that today's PCs are still cheaper than this.

I live in Germany and germans are bad at software, so they generally don't work as well as cards or the respective web interfaces and I never tried using them.

GrapheneOS setup is very easy, anyone who can follow a manual is able to do it.

There are some smaller ones on aliexpress for reasonable prices, but still much more expensive per key than keyboards.

you can also get a pinecil soldering iron and some beveled tips (important for SMD soldering), some solder wire and some flux for about 50$ combined.

I was hoping it could be scraped somehow, but yeah, that's very non-trivial for something like maps.

Seconded, I currently use unexpected keyboard but I really want something with swipe typing.

You'll probably want KDE as it has the most options to set graphically and still just works out of the box. It has a theme store so you can just try a few different ones.

The footprint is still about a hundred times smaller than windows, so don't worry about that.

For a distro, I'd recommend not using ubuntu because it tries to force snaps on its users and they cause a ridiculous amount of issues. Especially if you want to do anything in python.

Sounds like a classic nvidia moment. Just downgrade all the nvidia packages, it should be fine after that.
