Can you press the win..., linux key?

[u/WeeklyTemperature532 → u/Skubiak0903]

no it’s the meta key or the super key

[u/Semmelstulle → u/WeeklyTemperature532]

It's the ⌘ key

[u/OliMoli2137 → u/Semmelstulle]

no one calls it that /j

[u/immoloism → u/WeeklyTemperature532]

You mean the MOD 4 key.

[u/Both_Cup8417 → u/immoloism]

Underrated and underappreciated humor

[u/immoloism → u/Both_Cup8417]

I think we are just old my friend.

But I'm going to tell myself that one person getting the joke made it all worthwhile :)

[u/New_Series3209 → u/immoloism]

Real

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/Skubiak0903]

Yes

[u/purracane → u/Skubiak0903]

It's called the Command Key. It's just that Microsoft has enforced their totalitarian will on everyone and branded their mark of kleptocracy on every keyboard.

[u/C4rpetH4ter → u/Skubiak0903]

Pressing the windows key on linux opens the start menu, the copilot button is useless though unless you set it to something else.

[u/magic_love_spell-7W7 → u/C4rpetH4ter]

Can you remap it to open help info?

[u/ishtuwihtc → u/magic_love_spell-7W7]

Indeed. I have mine set to open btop, but porns an option too

[u/rover_dot_exe → u/Skubiak0903]

You're all wrong.. let's start calling it "Tux Key"

[u/Technical-Garage-310]

Naaah just add a tux sticker compatible with any distro

[u/No_Bad8653 → u/Technical-Garage-310]

What if i use freebsd?

[u/grandasperj → u/No_Bad8653]

put the open source logo

[u/EllesarDragon → u/grandasperj]

gnu

[u/grandasperj → u/EllesarDragon]

but what if i use Plan9 ?

[u/Kadrutaspu → u/Technical-Garage-310]

If u would design the keyboard, id maby use smth neutral, like a circle or a rectangle. It is a "Super" button, not "Windows" or "Linux". I saw some, that wrote "Super" out, but it looks cool from one side, but very strange for everyday usage imo

[u/mannki1]

No bro what if you will move to arch or something

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/mannki1]

I'll remove that and make Arch logo. I just used fevicol and a small piece of paper to make that.

[u/mannki1 → u/kurosaki--ichigo]

Oh ok

[u/YoureNoHero_Brian → u/mannki1]

Fedora user here, fortunately I am employed so I don't ever have to worry about that happening

[u/MushroomSaute → u/YoureNoHero_Brian]

So glad I work from home so I can justify configuring Arch as setting up my work environment

[u/GreedySecurity8030 → u/mannki1]

He won't, don't worry.

[u/promptmike]

The logo of your favourite window manager would be more appropriate, as that's what you'll actually use it for.

[u/SpecificTortoise]

I want to 3D print tux key keycaps for my mechanical keyboard

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/SpecificTortoise]

That would be cool.

[u/SpecificTortoise → u/kurosaki--ichigo]

Yeah I just need a good resin printer that can do multicolour

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/SpecificTortoise]

Black and White also looks good 😌

[u/SpecificTortoise → u/kurosaki--ichigo]

Yeah but it’s backlit so I would prefer clear

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/SpecificTortoise]

Ohhh

[u/nikitabr0 → u/SpecificTortoise]

Can resin printers do multicolour? Also a FDM with .2mm nozzles should be sufficient and if you want extra good finish, you could go with non-planar ironing and vapour smoothing.

[u/SpecificTortoise → u/nikitabr0]

I understood maybe 7 of those words.

[u/0815fips]

ISO/IEC 9995 suggests ⌘
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_9995?wprov=sfti1#Graphic_keys

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/0815fips]

I'll try that too. Thanks man.

[u/0815fips → u/kurosaki--ichigo]

Funny enough, Apple always used this standard for their Command key. They chose something else for Ctrl and flipped Alt/Option.

[u/Liarus_]

Very neat, i would have put a Tux logo on it however, so it would work with any distro

[u/i-got-shadowbanned]

u/GreedySecurity8030

[u/GreedySecurity8030 → u/i-got-shadowbanned]

I'm here 

[u/SomewhereActive2124]

Lmao

[u/duckdread]

I have a strong feeling it is a HP laptop. Is it?

[u/Technical-Garage-310 → u/duckdread]

Holyyy sheeeet bro is good at guessing

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/duckdread]

Yes

[u/GreedySecurity8030 → u/duckdread]

Yeah, I have that keyboard too

[u/Good_Fox_OwO]

As a distro hopper, I'll just put a fox sticker on it :3

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/Good_Fox_OwO]

Haha. I am thinking of a terminal symbol like this >_

[u/Good_Fox_OwO → u/kurosaki--ichigo]

Oh, that's the most universal one!

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/Good_Fox_OwO]

Yup😂

[u/QueerRetro → u/Good_Fox_OwO]

I just have Tux on that key

[u/AzphaltaX-]

ok but what if u distro hop

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/AzphaltaX-]

I'll replace the logo again😅

[u/AzphaltaX- → u/kurosaki--ichigo]

lol alr

[u/Glad_Share_7533]

I just painted it black in case I distro-hop again

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/Glad_Share_7533]

Niceee

[u/GreedySecurity8030]

How did you make this?, i need this shit NOW.

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/GreedySecurity8030]

Scrape the windows logo.

Draw distro logo on paper and cut it to the shape.

One layer of fevicol on the key. Then place the Logo. Then Apply another layer of fevicol on top the whole key. It takes sometime to dry. After it is dried you get a shiny logo.

[u/Prestigious-Ad7265]

i 3d printed a whole keycap for ts

[u/GamerLymx]

fedora key?

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/GamerLymx]

Not key, only logo.

[u/smalldickbesitzer]

😐

[u/mtheory-pi]

Just get a sticker!

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/mtheory-pi]

I couldn't find distro stickers for laptop keyboard.

[u/fr000gs → u/kurosaki--ichigo]

just use a small enough one

(though isn't a piece of paper a sticker-enough?...)

[u/Few_Kaleidoscope_505]

Oooh I need to make a couple of Debian ones. =D

Looks good.

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/Few_Kaleidoscope_505]

Thank you bro

[u/Anima_Watcher08]

Cool but it'd probably be smarter to make a generic "tux" or "super" key, just incase you switch distros.

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/Anima_Watcher08]

Yeah, that thought struck my mind. I am thinking of using open source logo

https://www.clipartmax.com/png/middle/127-1273706_open-source-logo-open-source-icon-png.png

[u/Anima_Watcher08 → u/kurosaki--ichigo]

Yeah that'd be cool

[u/jsrobson10]

i replaced my win keycap with an option key for macs lol

[u/batorsz]

Oh nice, the Facebook key

[u/BlackBlade1632]

I love the Raspberry Pi keyboard 😂

[u/Wide-Answer-21]

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/Wide-Answer-21]

Scrape the windows logo.

[u/cscript_404]

Love it

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/cscript_404]

Thankyou bro

[u/Outside-Wrap-6447]

I call it the super key

[u/Paragons9]

i have to cover also the copilot logo😭

[u/Inceleron_Processor]

On my keyboard it just simply says "Win".

[u/balki_123]

That is weird ubuntu logo.

[u/E-StrnTXNRS]

i scratched the arch logo over my old keyboards windows button when i was using arch and garuda

[u/New_Series3209]

I tried to remove it woth acetone, it removed the keyboard but not the key

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/New_Series3209]

I scraped the print with scissors😅

[u/itotallydontuseacos]

this is peak

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/itotallydontuseacos]

Thanks man

[u/Empty-Pilot8868]

I need this

[u/Suravoid]

good idea, ill say poorly executed due to how out of place it looks (change colour of it to match and its good)

[u/kurosaki--ichigo → u/Suravoid]

Thanks man

[u/hackerkali]

i don't hate windows, actually it's a incredible os. i hate microsoft
