From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sick. I wonder if that keyboard is actually good for typing though.

Super awesome! I was looking at this, but don't want a new phone right now

Are physical keyboards like that really even faster? I would just buy a split 40% keyboard and out one in each of my pockets before I would do this tbh.

[–] elements@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

If you have been texting on a touch screen phone screen for about 10 years like many of the younger generations, I would say no. However people still get about 60 wpm or more on this. I've gotten faster on the keyboard case but still think I'm faster on touchscreen

Do you, by some chance, write in any language that requires non-ASCII characters? (Such as ñ in Spanish.)

You can apparently touch-type non-ASCII characters with Clicks on IOS, I'm wondering if it works similarly on Android.

My phone died last week, and I was very tempted by the Razr with Clicks, but I haven't seen much about using it outside English. In the end I went cheap and bought a Pixel 9A :(

Touch keyboards suck, but double so if you type in multiple languages, need non-ASCII, and on top of that you want to use shells. GBoard is not bad at detecting the three languages I regularly type in, but my BlackBerries were superior.

On Gboard you can change settings to hold a character down and choose one of their non ASCII versions, as well as changing the language on your keyboard settings (but that's messy), as well as using keymapper. Since you're on pixel now, I heavily recommend using GrapheneOS.org . You will thank me later. If you have any questions let me know.

That keyboard is cancer, I would love that if I could pull it out from landscape but brother eeehw. The pixel is already long enough.
