Practical question about living with 40% split (+ custom keeb identification)
Similar features are supported by several applications such as KMonad. Basically the only reason to prefer a firmware solution is if you often switch systems (physical computers, virtualization, remote desktop) and keeping more of your configuration in the keyboard is simpler ... and I suppose if you run into latency issues with features like tap/hold.

Kinesis Advantage360 ZMK vs SmartSet
A lot of my input customization is better implemented [on Linux] in KMonad and then the usual XKB ... and Emacs (or other text editor).

Warpstone✨
Lower-level software like KMonad has more or less feature parity with QMK.

Is a DIY keeb worth it?
While usually true, much of the same effect can be achieved by using a converter (such as hasu's) that can be built for as little as $15 or so, or in software on the host computer (such as kmonad).

Hewwo, allow me to show you my qute keyboard. (Ferris Bling, choc reds)
if somebody is reading this and not familiar with the way how to mod the laptop (or any other) keeb, check KMonad. very slightly buggy but amazingly powerful. and i think there are some alternatives. havent done the proper research though

Thoughts on this layout?
Couple of months ago I discovered KMonad (win/mac/linux) which kind of changed my life really. That way you can have functionality similar to what QMK offers (was sort of the main inspiration for the creator of KMonad) with literally any keyboard.

Autokey help
I don’t know much about AHK, but if it ends up not working you could look into using kmonad instead.

syntax keyword for foo-bar as a whole word
I wanted to make a syntax plugin for kmonad which has a lot of functions with dashes between the names of it (e.g. tap-next-release function). However, when I use syntax keyword kbdFunction tap-next-release it is interpreted as they are separated words and won't highlight any of them for some reason. Is there any way to make them all highlighted as a single keyword?

We released a new powerful efficiency tool called RunFlow, which is similar to PowerToys and Alfred, welcome to try it
RunFlow is a cross-platform productivity tool which can launch apps and search files and more, that similar to Wox and PowerToys on Windows, and also similar like Alfred and Raycast on macOS. But we have differences with these tools, and we have our own unique new features. Right now, at the below, we will introduce you what features of RunFlow have been implemented in more details. It's an amazing journey, let's start.

GTK: On fractional scales, fonts and hinting
I'm curious - when you were doing research into the mechanics of hinting options, did you stumble onto any relevant discussion around allowing custom pixel geometries to be defined, to enable hinting on modern OLED / WRBG displays? There's a good thread on the topic here[0], with some people referring to it as 'ClearType 2' on the MS side [1]. On the oss side I know FreeType theoretically supports this[2], but I can't quite figure out how relevant the FreeType backend is to this most recent work.
This is great work btw.

Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
Thank you all for the informative advices. Here is the summary for those who are in the same situation:
1. Run Windows on Linux by using VM
for the applications you can’t run on Linux
Risks:
* some softwares may attempt to detect VMs and refuse running
* Anything what needs to touch hardware may not work.
2. separate "data" partition on D:
3. back up %APPDATA% and %USERPROFILE%
4. learn chocolatey, scoop or winget
Winget should be good enough
5. Don’t worry about C:\Program Files
6. (Mixed) Use/Don’t use Ansible (or saltstack/salt)
Use:
* Allows you to setup a new machine quickly and consistently when one breaks, get stolen, or lost in an inconvenient time.
* You can get a clean and consistent development environment so that you do not depend on anything accidentally installed on the machine.
* If you define specialised roles, create test playbooks for those individual roles, use these roles to compose more complex playbooks, and offload logic to custom ansible modules that are written in python, you won't wrestle with heavy logic in the template or playbook layer.
* installing software and pulling some configs and scripts down is fine
Don’t use:
* You will spend your days fighting a mix of yaml and Jinja.
* You will end up looking at Python errors because there are no static types.
* errors are cryptic.
7. Use WSL2
You need 32gb of ram, but ram is cheap so choose a good thinkpad
8. Debloat with Recommended Tweaks
Run
irm christitus.com/win | iex
from Administrator Terminal (Powershell)
The link leads to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/mai...
VirusTotal
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/709834b0e003b6bb546cf16e...
9. Get [PowerToys](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys)
10. Use Devbox for containered environment
https://www.jetpack.io/devbox
11. Dual-Booting Linux and Windows
If you use physically separated drives, you don’t need partitioning.
12. Dedicated Windows machine for class
Yes it sure would be the cleanest solution but I prefer one device for everything
13. keep a git repository with all dot files in it
Many people suggested me to use virtualization, otherwise just let Windows be Windows.
Also, backing up seems to be a good practice.
I’m planning to write a blog about this, if it worked.
Again, thank you all for the helps!
