No comment 😂

Logitech Trackman Marble for pointing

Holding the highlighted red thumb key(s) will activate layers. So left thumb is nav, right is symnum, both is fun.

The shift on R is only used for shortcuts, and acts as r when tapped and shift when held. For typing I use the two sticky shift combos on ring+middle homerow.

Linux Mint

I’m glad to hear it. Linux in general has gotten way better in that regard. I haven’t had to fix any driver issues in years just install and it works.

PopOS is definitely a great first choice distribution. I would recommend Linux Mint over it for people coming from windows who wants something rock solid with a great community

netstat curl and git

Yep. I used a Chromebook pixel in college with Linux on it. Worked pretty well

Hahaha, I’m the opposite I’ve been so used to the thinkpad fn that I hate using other laptop keyboards.

Use Nix?

I mean if you want stability, Debian 12

Oh sweet thank you!

Might be better to ask on ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world

If that’s how you refer to communities on here hahaha. I just swapped from basically a TKL down to a Cheapino which is 3x5 with 3 keys on the thumb. It was a really steep learning curve but tbh I only really use 4 of the 6 thumb keys so if you want to go down to 34 keys I say go for it. It will be more difficult to transition though.

Fedora, used Arch for many years but decided to try it out and have really enjoyed it. After Red Hats RHEL decisions I might swap to arch or nix os.

Tidal, you can use tidal-dl to download the music
