Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Seriously, what the hell is a model m?

    Is it just the keyboard?

    [–] Ropianos@feddit.de 28 points 1 year ago

    The only thing I could find is an old-school keyboard by IBM. I guess that's it and OP just likes the hacker vibes of using that kind of keyboard?

    Ah. I don't think I'll ever know that particular pleasure. I won't be able to go back after switching to a preonic/Dvorak.

    You can order their custom keyboard with US Dvorak layout.

    That wouldn't help the ortholinear issue though.

    A model of keyboard that has been in continuous production since 1985 through to this day. They are well liked for their modern layout, long lifespan (ones made in 1985 still going strong to this day), and high quality clicky mechanism (blows cherry blues out of the water imho).

    FWIW, if you don’t have to work in the same room with others, and you write a lot of code or prose, it is a really great typing experience.

    I have the Mac layout version for my work computer and I love it. The people on my conference calls, not so much.
