I don't know what I do to keyboards when I use them for a really long time, but I have the exact same laptop frame and keyboard and most modifier keys are unrecognizable and half of the WASD keys are rarely used keys because I fucked up the keycaps while cleaning and I got other keys off the keyboard in place of them. So anyways, my Windows key is abused beyond recognition and you can't tell it was a Windows key.

I might scratch mine now after seeing this. I prefer personalisation over most things honestly.

You can possibly get real creative with developing different scratch styles. From intentional needle drawing to the plastic equivalent of stonewashing jeans.

Ah that one infinite bindings key.

Throw away that key and get another one with a pinguin instead ;)

Cast it into the fire!

That should be easy to replace.

And if not, maybe take the money you saved on a Windows licence and treat yourself to a better keyboard. It's worth spending a bit on your primary input device, the thing you use the most.

Hmm but it doesn't force ads down your throat so can you really say it is part of Windows?

I don't even have that. !modelm@lemmy.world users rise up!

I've put a GNU sticker over one, and a Tux sticker over another. I should see if there's a Debian spiral sticker I can get (or even custom keycaps) for future keyboards.

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.
