Unfortunately, that won’t change the rise in price in new keyboards because all the companies are compelled to accommodate this change on Microsoft’s behalf.
Keyboards are a bundle item. Rarely buy keyboards except people in offices who want a wireless.m+k combo or foreign layout. Desktops always arrive with a keyboard. Every IT dept I ever worked in has piles of them surplus
100%. When Windows drops support for Windows 10 I’m jumping ship to Linux Mint Cinnamon. I tried it out on my old laptop and liked it. I even liked that neat hot corners thing you could use.
I would say for Linux Mint Cinnamon you really only need to be able to follow directions. Just make sure you have an external backup of all your files in case it turns out you can’t. You’ll have to type some stuff into a command-line interface (I think) but the Mint Cinnamon website has links to step by step guides. Also, you know, make sure you’re either committed to getting rid of Windows, or have the ability to re-install, in case you mess up.
Definitely not, I’d say the thing you need the most is the will to learn - as there are differences of course, but being willing to learn new things will go a long way.
And again, install Linux and get rid of this Microsoft bullshit

If you want to settle for a cheap shitty keyboard, fine. Many of us would rather invest in a nice one.
He means for business, I imagine.
You can go to your IT department and they’ll often just give you one. Great to have around as a spare.
But why? A cheap one does exactly the same job without the loud clicking of a mechanical one to drive your coworkers nuts.
I was never a fan of them before, but I hate them now that I work in an open office workspace.
A bomb and a lambo do the same job too but I know which one I’d rather drive.
Also, this doesn’t just affect work keyboards bundled with workstations, it affects the entire keyboard industry.
I mean… comfort?
Don’t get a clicky mechanical keyboard then

Do I need to know Jack shit about programming to use it? Cause…I mean I really don’t know Jack shit about but I’m down to jump ship!

But really, at this point, it’s pretty dang easy.

Yeah I’m definitely starting to lean that way with everything I’ve been hearing. Fuck windows.
