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.

'extensive coding sessions' ... with your thumbs? No thanks.
For extensive coding sessions, real developers remove their thumbs
Sorry for no transcript :(
Transcript of above image:
It's 2026, do you even need a full keyboard anymore? This year's badge is a three-key USB macro pad with only the keys that matter for Al-assisted programming: Y, 2, and Enter. Yes, allow it. Always allow. Submit. You've just approved every suggestion, every file edit, every tool call.
Congratulations, you're a 10x engineer now! This year's badge is built around a PIC16F1455 with USB-C HID. The board lights up with 25 addressable RB LEDs 22 side-mount SK6812s for edge glow and 3 WS2812B per-key backlights. Kailh hot-swap sockets let you bring your own switches. Now that you're the most productive person at your company, you can focus on enjoying the conference!
Thank you so much!
Could sub Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V and Enter and be an old school dev ;)
Uhhh you haven’t configured an Xbox controller for keyboard inputs?
