If I cared that much, I could have bought a blank keycap for an extra buck when I bought my keyboard and banished that thing forever. (I own a Unicomp New Model M 103-key, which only has one Windows key to begin with, and the manufacturer will happily sell you blank or custom-text keycaps. Unfortunately, while they do sell a set that includes Tux keycaps, they're sized for a 104-key.)

Throw away that key and get another one with a pinguin instead ;)

Doesn't have to be

[-] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

A bit of acetone will fix that.

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Ah that one infinite bindings key.

[-] mazzilius_marsti@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

could just replace it, no? Unless your keyboard is weird, the size of window key is pretty standard right?

I don't even have that. !modelm@lemmy.world users rise up!

[-] clumsyfeline@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

same…. and that stupid “copilot” button thing… i’m gonna turn it to a hotkey or something lol

[-] redparadise@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Acetone should do the trick

[-] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago

I've put a GNU sticker over one, and a Tux sticker over another. I should see if there's a Debian spiral sticker I can get (or even custom keycaps) for future keyboards.

Hmm but it doesn't force ads down your throat so can you really say it is part of Windows?

[-] m532@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 3 months ago

For me its just the window key, with a window on it for the window manager

That should be easy to replace.

And if not, maybe take the money you saved on a Windows licence and treat yourself to a better keyboard. It's worth spending a bit on your primary input device, the thing you use the most.

Like what? I'm looking for a full keyboard (100%? With numpad) what are your suggestions?

[-] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

A lot of diehards like Unicomp for the typing feel, and I was very tempted since I used an IBM Model M for ages. But honestly they're pretty ugly.

Now I run an older fullsize GMMK with Kailh switches (bronze) and it's great. There are a zillion similar customizable KBs these days though.

[-] Cris16228@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

Glorious is GOD. Loved the mouse but no layout for me :(

[-] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

Buy a unicomp. https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/SFNT

Shits built like a tank.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
