I feel like there is going to be a disproportionate amount of people not using a standard qwerty keyboard that replies to this :)

I use qwerty on a standard 100% and another split 60%. I am trying to switch to ortholinear split Dvorak, but haven't been able to design a keyboard I am comfortable switching to full time. I would also need two of them, one for home, one for work.

I have never ordered something from Amazon. It was introduced in my country a few years back, but it isn't really that good of a site (at least the few times I have visited it).

Like many here, I do not want to support a monopolistic company like Amazon. Luckily I live in a country where I have better options. I tend to buy things from plenty of well rated sites. Environmentally conscious sites if I can.

I could see myself buying from them if there genuinely isn't another option and it is something I really need, but that has yet to happen.

I had an issue where one keyboard (worked with another one) worked in bootloader, but not when entering the encryption password after that. I believe I solved that by moving keyboard earlier in the module list in mkinitcpio.conf. Maybe something similar would solve your issue?

I have basically the same thoughts as you. The reasons I can think of is:

  • Convenience (but SL is pretty convenient)
  • Less of a lock-in to one vendor.
  • Avoiding filters on sites not allowing aliasing domains (often incorrectly under the label "temporary email addresses")

Fairphone 5 has 5 year warranty. Sure that's not 4, but the title makes it seem that 4 is longest out there.
