  • Windows is not bad - it's a matter of familiarity
    For instance, many Linux users bash (sic) Windows because it only supported virtual desktops since very recent versions (8, I think). But that is false. You could totally have virtual desktops since Windows 98. You just had to install a third-party application for that. It is no different than having to install, say, Gnome to have a desktop on Linux.

  • What are the benefits of using Linux over other operating systems?
    Since Windows 98. It has been decades, not years. Source: over 2 years ago
  • How i have used 9 layers of the keyboard (for those who wonder why anyone needs that many layers
    Qwety layer Numpad layer aroww key layer Two layers are based on virtuawin. One one the fact I type using the colemak-dhm layout. Two shift layers I will replace with shit + function and alt + function keys. The mouse layer is largely novelty but if the cursor is close the I will use it as realigning my fingers with keyboard is annoying. Source: about 3 years ago
