Yes, but no…
For a basic user, who does not expect to be doing anything special beyond opening existing programs, or using programs downloaded from the package-manager its possible to never touch terminal.
I have two kids who daily drive Manjaro based light gaming PC’s, they never touch the terminal, but they also dont administer their systems, I do.
I do use the terminal, frequently for updates, and some specialized tasks like minecraft mods which require unpacking files and sometimes fixing permissions.
So my TLDR, is that its possible to be a USER without touching the terminal, but I dont think its possible to be an administrator without.
many times, shucking is a very valid way to get large format disks for cheaper than retail NAS parts. But be aware of what your buying and make sure that the disk your getting if its a white label is a reliable disk. WD Easystore/Mybook are generally good, as are the larger format Seagate external.
Im not sure Intel has any worthwhile CPU’s unless you are getting them used.
Currently E cores are mostly trash, and not all that “efficient” and letting a P Core turbo up and get the task completed uses less overall power.
Secondly Intel is lying about its heat output, and power use. Everything from 10th gen up is a power hog if you dont limit the performance to well below “stock” settings.

This is a good match up between an i5-13500 vs R5 7600, which is the most interesting IMO. The R5 7600 seems to be about $15 less expensive for just the CPU and uses 3/4ths the power which will be a greater savings over time vs Intel. The AMD Motherboards also still seem to trend a bit lower in cost than Intel.
So overall its a good question. If you can get a use 13500 or one under $150 then its probably worth it, but at retail prices the 7600 will cost less to buy, and less to own while being similar in performance.
Awesome to hear, Keychron makes some keyboards that are a great value, even if they are not the best.
I keep going back to my K4v2.
Ok, now I am clear, if I see any unix specific key cap sets I will send them over. Sorry for all the confusion.
I mean its been 30ish years since I used a SUN or DEC system, but I know the key your talking about, what I dont understand is do you just want the key cap, or do you want the functionality of they key?
Do you mean that they the key press has nothing to do with the key cap, or just that the caps are unrelated specifically to *nix commands and shortcuts?
If you want the key press to send a specific *nix based command then you just program it to do that in QMK and create the keymap to fit your needs. You can even have multiple key maps and swap from one to another if you want a console/terminal specific map.
As for *nix specific key caps, there are not many out there and the sets I linked have some of the ones that could be used for specific tasks if you wanted. They are not perfect but they are better than a dedicated windows or co-pilot key.
So this is a programmer keycap set, with lots of options related to the key cap profile.
Cherry is one of the most common, and close to OEM which is what most mass market keyboards use. XDA is a lower profile key cap with rounded edges. SA is a very dramatic profile and reduces travel distance to upper row keys and looks more like 60s/70s terminals. MOA is kinda cool as its a square cap that lofts to a round top.
This is another great set in OEM profile.

Cheap, supports QMK/VIA on linux.
have you done an upgrade?
sudo pacman -Syu
Awesome, I am glad to hear it. Enjoy your new keyboard when it gets there.
I have 4 Keychron’s and have not had any mechanical issues, though I did have a missing foam layer in my Q0 Plus that was indicated as being part on the website. I did not care enough to follow up on it.
I find their QA good enough for the price point.
I have the K17 Pro w/ Blue switches and its great, plus supports QMK/VIA so I can customize it based on games or OS and my needs.
They have several other low profile options from 60%-100%
https://nuphy.com/collections/keyboards/products/air96-v2
The Numphy air series are also a popular low profile option I have not used one yet so I cant speak to it personally. They also support QMK/VIA for customization.
https://ajazzbrand.com/product/ajazz-ak832pro/ https://ajazzbrand.com/product/ajazz-ak832/
Ajazz offers a some 75%'s but they are seen as a budget brand so long term software support and customization options may be lower. I dont see anything related to Hotswap or QMK/VIA so you may not get them as features. Also its subjective but Outemu switches are also seen as budget options. Personally I do not care for the Outemu box switches, but I find the traditional Cherry Clones to be ok depending on the color type. Outemu Purples and Silent White are my go to budget switches when building boards for friends who dont have a big budget but also dont really know what they want yet.

Another OEM low budget option, personally I would not buy any of these. I Have two of their other keyboards one specifically because of the MCU chip on it, the other because I needed a 60% for one of my kids gaming computers. They are plastic crap, but they are cheap.
This is a good site to search for things if none of the boards linked above tickles you.
Create 3 VM’s and pass-through disks to each VM. Boom ceph cluster on a single computer.
ZFS/BRTFS might still be better, but if you really want Ceph this should work and provide expansion and redundancy at a block device level, though you wont have any hardware redundancy regarding power/nodes.
Ahh yep, thanks, so many little details to keep track of.
o sure, I could walk over and put in my admin password and do it all in the GUI. I cant think of any basic things that require terminal with modern DE’s like KDE. I just use terminal for remote management because its simpler than trying to work at their desks.
