Nocturnals were actually my first choc I knew they were coming and waited. That being said they are great, very quiet, satisfying to type on and have better tolerances than standard chocs leading to less stem wobble. Out of choc and MX ambients are genuinely one of my favourite if not favourite switch. Definitely recommend, especially if you need the silence. I work from home so that’s not an issue for me but still a nice bonus.

If you like the weight and feel of sunsets, the sunrise switches are coming soon which will be silent tactiles and is aiming for the same feel.

I think it was too small for them hahah. But they liked the split and programmability. I think they are looking at buying a voyager.

I may or may not like ever smaller unibody keyboards. Grumpy is next then hopefully a 26 key.

It looks like vaporware to me tbh

Hahah. Layers and combos. You can see a few people’s layouts on 30 key boards at the keymap db website. What’s even better is I actually don’t even use all the keys lol. https://keymapdb.com/

Hahaha sometimes hackintosh but mostly Linux and windows at work.

Linux Mint

I’m glad to hear it. Linux in general has gotten way better in that regard. I haven’t had to fix any driver issues in years just install and it works.

PopOS is definitely a great first choice distribution. I would recommend Linux Mint over it for people coming from windows who wants something rock solid with a great community

netstat curl and git

Yep. I used a Chromebook pixel in college with Linux on it. Worked pretty well

Hahaha, I’m the opposite I’ve been so used to the thinkpad fn that I hate using other laptop keyboards.

Use Nix?

I mean if you want stability, Debian 12

Fedora, used Arch for many years but decided to try it out and have really enjoyed it. After Red Hats RHEL decisions I might swap to arch or nix os.

Tidal, you can use tidal-dl to download the music
