How about this?

Do you mean a choc switch macropad? I’m pretty sure you should be able to get a kit, although not sure about something pre-built.

I only use one keyboard, but building them (designing the PCB and case, getting it printed, doing the soldering and updating the QMK code) is a bit of a hobby.

And I forgot Python. As a Data Engineer. Whoops!

• Tmux
• NeoVim
• Git
• FZF
• Fish
• ssh Lots of others, but these are the day-to-day

Agreed in part. There are reasons there are distros, but I don’t think Op is suggesting to run LFS as a daily driver. More that they want to install it to show they can. And on that front, I’d disagree. Go for it! The book is fairly self explanatory. It does call out some choices early on with respect to package management. Stop and think at that point. Make a choice, then move forward.

As to the request for an explanation, it’s a 36 key, ortholinear, staggered and splayed split board.

36 keys - should be obvious Ortholinear - the keys are in line on the vertical axis, unlike a regular keyboard that has an offset between rows Staggered - the pinky column is set lower that the middle finger column, as my pinky is shorter and can’t stretch as far Splayed - if you naturally open an close a fist, your fingers don’t stay together when you open your fist, but rather they splay outwards. The keyboard follows that natural splay.

Other than that, it’s using QMK, and has 3 layers. I’ve not bothered mapping F keys, as I don’t use them. So layer 1 is regular alpha, layer 2 has numbers (or with shift has symbols), layer 3 has directional keys.

Also using home row mods for Command, Control, Option (work computer is a Mac).

Here is a link to the tilt things. I don’t have a printer, so got someone else to print them for me. They took a day to get used to, but I like them. Kinda like a poor mans dactyl.
