  • I have had an issue for years that I couldn’t pinpoint to a root cause (I’m strongly inclined to think it’s a kernel issue). I bought a CM Storm Quickfire TK keyboard with ABNT2 layout.

    The issue is: every time I try to type any key that is not a letter or number one, the computer freezes for a full ten seconds before acknowledge the press and showing the character. Tried a bunch of Linux distros through the years and the issue persists. On Windows it works flawlessly.

    Just give up trying to debug the problem, but I still have this hole in my heart where the cause of this issue lives.



  • It’s a vicious circle. Linux has no representation on the desktop because it lacks support from commonly used desktop apps. And lack support from those apps because it has no representation.

    Windows have to screw really hard to push common folks to switch AND Linux must come pre-installed on cheap desktops to appease young people that are entering the ecosystem now.
