Welp, time to disable TWO keys on my keyboard.

Oh nice so now we have a Super Key, a Hamburger Key, and now a Meta key. </speaking_in_linux>

It's the context menu key all over again

Of fucking course lol. The cortana key

I don't want a key to automate my hallucinations, I can do that fine enough with enough helium

please don't. if you knew how many times the windows key is pressed by accident...

I use Linux, and I actually like the idea. Not because of the Copilot bullshit, but because I've always wanted a real hyper key.

Gross

Is it supposed to look like a curled up bandaid?

Oh great, another key to accidentally press when I’m in a game.

Even scroll lock has been used more. Nobody will want your AI crap, microsoft, not even with a dedicated key.

Okay, next plan is to start buying non-windows keyboards.

The fuck is a copilot key and why do I need it on my keyboard, hmm let's see....

I love having a keyboard where every key is programmable.

Now I know what to use for my push to talk key at least.

So we will need another sticker to cover MS logos on every keyboard?

I just got done learning how to turn off Copilot in group security policy, yay! Get away from me, even if you worked according to the spec in the marketing hype. I am the admin. I drive you out! :::holds up holy water and a crucifix:::

ooooh, a KRunner key!

If they could just make it like the ⌘ command key on macOS it wouldn't be so bad, but of course, they're going to make it just like the goddamn Windows key, yet another key that if you press, it will screw up your workflow and have some dumb pop-up thing come up. Another modifier key wouldn't be so bad (or just turning the Windows key into a modifier key that doesn't automatically pull up a dumb menu if accidentally pressed by itself). They really like beating people over the head with their useless features.

Has power management for laptops gotten any better in the last couple of years on desktop Linux? I distro hopped for a year 3ish years ago but just didn’t like the fairly significant reduction in battery life.

Wait, the keyboard layout standardization has been done by Microsoft?!

Nice so I can remap it to something useful… unless they’re jerks and the keyboard isn’t sending a key but a combo like that useless “office” key that they tried and failed years ago
