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.

I physically disable the caps lock. So, I hope this is a feature, not a bug.

I temporarily fixed it using "tweaks app" to assign capslock key to 'escape' key πŸ˜…

The problem with all the little tweaks is that it doesn't seem to work when you SSH into another system. I caught myself typing in CAPS on a remote system one too many time. Performed a little surgery on the keyboard and solved the problem.

@djinnsour @linux@lemmy.ml @Linux@linuxrocks.online Haha yeah..Glad that we fixed our problems ! πŸ’―

Possibly a kernel issue?
