I used the Danish keyboard layout(win11) for both italian and Danish, because Italian needs àèéìòù and that language setting allowed me to type those. when I pressed the key next to backspace it waited until I pressed a vowel and it would write the vowel with the accent. if you pressed it twice it would write two lone accent symbols like this: ``. one day, it randomly stopped waiting for the vowel and immediately writes two symbols so it renders writing the accented letters impossible. i had changed no setting, done nothing, and my keyboard cannot be dirty or something because otherwise it would be hitting that key twice in other languages too. i cleaned it anyway. i tried redownloading the Danish layout but nothing changed. what can I do? having to change language gets quite annoying when you have to do it often.

Because it's microsoft.

Linux is great, I switched all my personal machines because I was fed up with all the crap they do.

And what can I say? It's just a better OS. The only reason to still use windows is because of software that's made for it and doesn't run well on linux yet.
