Very interesting doc! Its sad how this is the state of things, but something must be done. I hope with the news weve been receiving from Germany recently that this will change long term, and not just for the current government. Hopefully it will snowball and have a ripple effect on other EU countries.

Ive been looking for something like this for a while. Ill need to try it out

As a helpdesk guy, this type of issue happens with microsoft office just as often. People tend to memorise where the thing they use everyday is, and any update that changes where it is or how it functions “breaks” their flow of doing their task. We as technical people tend to simply have the skills to use a search engine to find out where it moved/how to solve our problem, but they dont.

While I havent been using libreoffice that long or as intensively as a government enployee would so I cant comment on if its the best OSS office suit for this situation, Im just happy they are starting the switch away from microsoft and CSS and finally waking up.

I was recently made aware of the concept of “rubber ducking”. Maybe thats something you were doing without realising

About the saving/extracting the already existing firmware from my keyboard, could you please give me a very general guide on how to do that, or at least point me in the right direction of searching this stuff up? Whatever path I end up taking, I guess having the default firmware saved is always a plus just in case something goes wrong in the future. As for the remaining part of your comment, I don’t think I’ll mess about with that too much. I already have fairly easy access to windows PCs at work that I can try this stuff with, I just prefer not having to rely on them too much for personal stuff. I do have ventoy with a windows 10 iso on it, but the rest of what you wrote related to that might as well be Chinese to me.

I went to the link you mentioned and saw that indeed my keyboard is compatible, but I have no idea how to proceed from there. I’ll probably take the keyboard to work tomorrow where the PCs are windows and give the official software a try, but just for the future if I need it (or if anyone comes across this post and needs help), could you point me in the right direction to learn about what you said? As I said in my OP I’m completely new to this level of keyboard customisation so please be patient with me seeing as I know pretty much nothing about it.

Thanks though!

Ill check it out. Itll be fun to see differences in how we did things

Thats why I decided to leave it up instead of deleting it 😊

Yeap, it seems so. Next time ill try using a friend for my rubber duck 😄

Lord cat thanks you for your offering and expects more next week

Thanks, I now get it! 😊

Could someone explain what happened to me like im 5 please?

This seems like it could be useful info if it takes off

What is the process/commands you did to install the fonts?

I never even got to see the interface haha

Yea i wonder why that is. It seems to be a standard

Basically when I was registering it had some wording like “start your free trial now” but once I got into the dashboard there was a message that cleared things up. So I have a free trial of what I assume is a higher tier of their service, which upon running out will revert me back to the Always Free tier.

Hetzner or linode closed your account?

Yup, ended up going with oracle. Free is good for me, and im totally new to this so it doesnt really make a difference to me if theres a minor interface difference between 2 providers.

Thanks

I just signed up to oracles free cloud service after watching a video where it was said it was always free, but the wording on oracle’s site made it seem like its a trial. Are there two free options?
