There’s definitely some leftover coke crusted in some of my keyboards…

Mmmm board chow

Can confirm. Back at the beginning of my IT career (mid 1980's), I worked as a temp for a computer manufacturer in their refurb repairs department. In those days, kit was so expensive that everything got repaired if it went wrong, and one of my jobs was repairing keyboards - PC keyboards, and dumb terminal ones - and the first part of the process was stripping and cleaning them. There was a lot more room for crumbs and dust back then, too, and man did they get full. Crumbs, staples, paper clips, hair grips, all sorts. I had literal mould growing in some of them. I remember the ones coming in from Italy were the worst for that for some reason.

there's something like that in Bazzite! If you go to the menu -> system settings -> language -> keyboard, then physically unplug the keyboard, the keyboard should now be disabled!

I just unplug it for a few minutes or lock my system

I figured there would be a simple setting for that in KDE Plasma, but looking it up, I am just getting results about disabling the virtual onscreen keyboard
