Every little thing like that creates a new Linux user. After switching I've never looked back.

Lol

For a good while the default US Intl keyboard in some Linux versions would give a ć instead of a ç for the combination c + '

Makes sense right? Except that made a lot of people angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

Because Brazilian users were expecting c + ' to become ç

(And they had to use Alt Gr + c instead)

reply
Not sure what there is to lol about that. '+c still composes to ć for me, and that makes sense to me; AltGr+, is ç, AltGr+c is © for me. But all of those symbols are outside my national script so I cannot say that any of them have been burdened by weight of expectation.

The US international keyboard settings suck. It's more convenient to enable a compose key and do diacritics with that.

As Pole I never had this issue. Why would you even use US Intl keyboard. Even for Arch with install everything manually I haven't any issues

> Why would you even use US Intl keyboard

Because (for some reason) you don't have your "standard" keyboard - just the US ISO one

Some keyboards have an extra key (or maybe more than one) and hence can't be mapped fully with a US keyboard

To be fair, you have to have a very high average IQ at a company to produce an OS nobody understands anymore. Or you know, things like the legendary five-state boolean.[1]

Best part is that it installs itself automatically, without prompting me for that.

Thank you Microsoft; nice to see your QA works well.

And every time you press it, an entire VM gets spun up, fully provisioned, and then set to LLM processing mode even though all you'll be doing is immediately closing the app again.

Thanks Microsoft, stellar!
