ExpansionCards VS kinto

I think the SD module won't be able to have the card flush, as the modules are only and SD cards are 32mm long, and you need some PCB space for the socket cage and the USB-C on the other side. The retrofit PCB outline they provide is only 26.9mm from front edge to back edge, so an SD card will stick out a little bit.

So perhaps they decided to go for the one that lets users have the card flush for use like an expansion bay as well as for data transfer to/from devices.

There are many laptops and desktops that fit the bill.

Frame.work: https://frame.work/

Dell: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000138246/linux-on-...

System76: https://system76.com/laptops

Kubuntu Focus: https://kfocus.org/land/business

I am sure there are more, this is only what I have found in less than 5 minutes of searching.

I'll buy a frame.work long before I touch system76. Their prices are too high for the general feedback I keep seeing on the quality control. I'm not spending 3k+ to be out a laptop until support responds. Especially, considering they still don't make these in house..

No they didn't, companies just mostly gave up on it.

A Framework Laptop (https://frame.work)

You could get a Framework 13 which comes with your choice of a 7840U or 7640U and a Radeon 780M iGPU. They do officially support Linux, and you don't have to pay for a Windows license, if you go the DIY option and chose to not get a Windows license.

Take a look at the Framework laptops. They're 100% modular so if stuff like that goes bad you can simply order the replacement part and do it yourself. I'm using a desktop right now but Ithink my next laptop is gonna be a framework.

a couple of days ago I tried to order a Framework laptop (13 inch AMD). I chose to create an account during the checkout process and provided my email address. After entering my shipping details, I authorized the transfer of the deposit fee via Giropay. The deposit was deducted from my bank account but when I was sent back to the frame.work website I was greeted by an error message. Unfortunately I could neither complete the checkout process nor continue my account registration.

If you like macOS keyboard shortcuts, I recommend you checkout Kinto go Windows and Linux. On Windows, Kinto used AHK

https://kinto.sh

However, at least when I set it up Kinto did not provide switching windows I’m this fashion. Here is the script I use.

```

    ; BRING FORWARD ALL WINDOWS OF THE CURRENT APPLICATION

The project was based on another project that's been around for a few years called Kinto, by Ben Reaves, which notably also has a Windows version (https://kinto.sh) using AutoHotkey. But has no Wayland support (at this time) in its Linux version.

Toshy is based on Kinto.sh, by Ben Reaves (https://kinto.sh or https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto). Kinto is basically an extensive keymapper config that not only shifts modifier keys appropriately for different keyboard types, but has full keymaps for a number of different apps like VSCode. My variant of Kinto adds some features and utilities for managing the services that make it work, and tools like a script to change the function keys mode of any keyboard that uses hid_apple. That means MacBook keyboards mostly, but also some non-Apple keyboards with media keys apparently use that driver module.

I don’t know if you can activate it via a keyboard shortcut, but I use Kinto.sh to swap keys on my MacBooks.

Hello, there's an open issue about this in their repo: https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto/issues/772

There is a setting in keyboard preferences for that.However if you can get yourself used to macOS shortcuts I highly recommend doing so as they seem to be superior especially if you are a programmer and use the terminal a lot, as on macOS you can simply use Command+C to copy from a terminal and Ctrl+C still works for sending SIGINT. Also Command+, will open preferences for almost every application on macOS. Shortcuts on macOS are very consistent across many apps unlike on Linux or Windows. After you get your Linux laptop back you can continue using these shortcuts thanks to a tool called kinto.sh.

Tangential: I'm currently looking for a way to map Mac-style shortcuts on Linux (e. g. Meta + C/V for copy / paste). The only thing I know is https://kinto.sh/, but it looks a bit too janky to my taste. Any other ideas?

And nothing about installing my https://kinto.sh app?
