OK, keyboard nerds, what are your recommendations?

I'm moving back to #linux as my daily driver after a decade of Mac.

I use a Corsair K95 with MX cherry switches 🥹

MX Cherry. Noice. Takes me back.

I'm autistic as well 🫂

🤣

I like MX Keys. But I'm no keyboard nerd.

MX Keys is indeed the best.

Debian, Solus or Elementary OS

I’ve got a great one for ya! I’m trying to sell nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s ‘s topre real force 104U-S….#purging

I'm basically in the same boat but i switched (back) from mac to linux right on the brink of the M1 release (i did not want to be the guinea pig for their first model, nor be the last one to buy an Intel).

When it comes to keyboards i recently bought this mechanical beast: https://www.keychron.com/collections/normal-profile-keyboards/products/keychron-k8-tenkeyless-wireless-mechanical-keyboard

It is, however, very personal. The mechanical switches are very different from the ones on mac keyboards. I am quite happy with it though.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I quite like the Mac style ones with minimal travel.

get a piece of wood with letters drawn on it, it won't affect your productivity at all when you're using linux.

Didn't you get the memo? 2024 is year of the linux desktop.

always has been

Keychron has a lot of nice options

Fedora Workstation

I can recommend the Glove80 or Kinesis Advantage 360 if you want an ergonomic split keyboard with lots of configuration option. You can also flash your custom layouts

Went for the Logi K950 + M750 combo.

Happy so far.

Need to get used to Linux shortcuts again. 😬

The mouse in particular is super nice.

Cherry KC 1000. Around 10 bucks. Anything else and you're short bitcoin.

Looks like I'm circa. 135k short forever.

But getting your freedom back by ditching Apple is priceless.

Which flavour?

Stock Ubuntu.

Spent too many hours to count fighting other distros back in the day.

Latest ubuntu release feels like been buggy from my end. How’s your experience?

No issues so far.
