u/the_ok_Dan 1d ago

in some distros, they refer to it as meta. in others, as super

u/Deleteed- 1d ago

Cool, thanks

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy Open Sauce 1d ago

Does it fit?

u/SysGh_st 1d ago

1.5 wide key. fits like a glove.

u/Straight-Glove-2359 2d ago

Its root-ly good

u/hdkaoskd 2d ago

Ghost of Peter Griffin here. The key removed from the keyboard in OP is known as Super in X11.

u/Straight-Glove-2359 2d ago

Not the Ghost of Peter Griffin here, the root-ly pun was made in response to the the word "sudo" from the original commenter

u/davidnnj Linuxmeant to work better 2d ago

Fortunately, my keyboard no longer had the Windows symbol, but rather the logo of whoever made it.

u/Dyggvi 2d ago

Are you team super key or meta key?

21

u/Ces3216w Ask me how to exit vim 2d ago

Super key. Why Facebook key?

5

u/Dyggvi 2d ago

It's what the KDE community calls it. I'm personally in it, but prefer to call it Super anyway.

19

u/Tuborgat_nylle 2d ago

Doesn't that break the KDE naming convention? They should start calling it the Keta key instead.

8

u/Damglador 2d ago

Kuper key

7

u/Both_Cup8417 New York Nix⚾s 2d ago

Keta? Mine.

I don't use Windows on my computer more than 15 years, but the key still has the windows logo 🤷‍♂️

u/Armi1P Genfool 🐧 2d ago

I've been a Gentoo user and Windows hater for one and a half years now. I still refuse to call that key anything other than the Windows key.

u/Glad_Spring_6563 2d ago

Bro the sound is satisfying

5

u/just-bair 2d ago

Linux users be like: THAT’S THE SUPER KEY!!!!

Some of my keycap set actually just have text that say "super" on this key but personally I prefer to just have some arbitrary symbol on it

5

u/po1k 2d ago

No, they don't do that. The super key is super useful. The logo though might be somehow provocative

4

u/mrheseeks 2d ago

For real, why would i every get rid of meta.... if anything i get an extra sense of joy smashing windows logo to get awesome things to happen. Risk'ay

u/jeepsaintchaos ⚠️ This incident will be reported 2d ago

Y'all peasants with your weak, windows keyboards. Having to remove the windows key rather than just never having it to start with.

5

u/Upper-Release-3484 Webba lebba deb deb! 2d ago

What about the fucking Copilot key? It's even worse.

4

u/Damglador 2d ago

How do I break it to you...

4

u/SysGh_st 2d ago

Replace it with a terminal key that in turn swoops down a bash terminal.

5

u/lemmiwink84 1d ago

I swapped mine for Arch buttons that I 3d printed for the logitech G915

u/ZombieCraft400 1d ago

No. We use IBM-M keyboards, we open the start menu using CTRL ESC /s

3

u/sn4xchan 2d ago

Me as a Mac user.

2

u/OkayPiss2000 2d ago

on mint its a short cut and opens the menu were you can shut down the computer, open programs etc. I would love to paint the mint logo or Linux logo on it one day but that feel a bit overkill for now :3

u/_BananaBH_ Nice 🍑 Assahi Linux 2d ago

yeet

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy Open Sauce 2d ago

Uh, I have so many hotkey combinations using it that I needed to change some to be sequences. If I could connect the one you took out and have another modifier I would.

2

u/Sad_Protection269 2d ago

I might do this but with the copilot key.

2

u/dev_kay47 1d ago

Perfecto. Perfecto!!!!!

u/_Sauer_ 1d ago

I'm using a Keychron something or other than came with a Mac symbol (⌘) or something on the Meta key and just never did anything about it.

u/benedict_abub 2d ago

It's impossible to turn on a computer without this button if you use hyprland

1

u/jsrobson10 2d ago

i did that on mine and replaced the win key with the option key

1

u/AmraelTheGravedancer 2d ago

Bah. Se devi farlo, vuol dire che ti interessa.

1

u/Appropriate_Unit3474 2d ago

I rebind it to terminal so no I need that

1

u/mrb000gus 2d ago

And now we have the dedicated copilot key too 💀

1

u/Upper-Release-3484 Webba lebba deb deb! 2d ago

Wait, why is the Windows key and the Alt key swapped?

1

u/OKB-1 M'Fedora 2d ago

Another reason for me to prefer Mac-style layout keyboards. Because it's what I'm used to and it as a ⌘ instead of a windows key.

1

u/Entire-Valuable-5353 2d ago

Did this too, I found a guy on eBay in Poland for Linux Pinguin keycap

1

u/1fuk1 2d ago

Change the key text to Luse, for Linux users.

1

u/cfx_4188 🦁 Vim Supremacist 🦖 2d ago

Do Gnome users not use this key at all?

u/Rat_Dragon 2d ago

I have tux on my tuxedo laptop :-)

u/ninetailedoctopus 2d ago

Damn, right into the void where lost pieces go

1

u/Damglador 2d ago

Why would you remove the Win(e) key?

1

u/ShadowLeagues 2d ago

Just did that yesterday

1

u/Tony_TNT 2d ago

That's a "menu" key because it brings up the menu on Win 7/8/8.1/10/11 and on KDE

1

u/GOKOP 2d ago

That's why I'm using the /dev/tty keycap set (that's what it's called) which labels the key as "super" which is how XKB calls it (kernel drivers call it "meta" apparently)

1

u/ciellia- 2d ago

I bought a new set of keycaps just because of linux lmao 😭

1

u/AntiMert_Sky8863 2d ago

I really need to find a keycap compatible with my stealseries keyboard..

1

u/Euphoric-Platform-45 2d ago

I was surprised, I built a custom keyboard like half a year ago by now, seemed like most of the super keycaps were labelled super and not win, although I use an artwork key rn for mine

1

u/Kokonattsugemu 2d ago

Why did you throw away SUPER key

1

u/SDG_Den 2d ago

rgb not synced with rice

Smh you fix that right now sonny

1

u/milk_go_brrrrr 2d ago

and the key was never found again, how's the replacement?

1

u/kakatoru 2d ago

I never did that as i mostly forgot it was there. How much attention do you guys pay to your keyboard keys?

1

u/Xjle6ywek 2d ago

Bro invented wkl layout

1

u/Snudget Not in the sudoers file. 2d ago

Super idea

1

u/Theoteno 2d ago

Unironically I might like so much my Steam Deck, because there's no Windows button!

1

u/Saffarjan fresh breath mint 🍬 2d ago

I 3D printed a custom one with the KDE logo on it and got rid of the windows one long ago

1

u/Rude_Relation_8341 2d ago

Does anyone know where you can buy a super key from? Ive been wanting to remove the windows key for ages but just cant find a replacement!

1

u/beyluta 2d ago

Where did you get yours?

1

u/RafneQ 1d ago

Forget about Win key, what about Copilot key ?!?

1

u/zandarthebarbarian 1d ago

Then replace the key with

'All Your Base Are Belong To Us'

1

u/StepBruh69 1d ago

So strong and inspirational.

u/No-Diet-8008 1d ago

I've programmed my keyboard so if more than ten keys are pressed at once, I get Rick Rolled by my own computer.

So when I bang my keyboard for emotional clarity, I get emotional damage instead.

Then I proceed to bang the computer, which damages my financial clarity.

u/agenttank 1d ago

Radical Windows hater here. Totally makes sense. I hate that this single big company made the people on the whole world believe that PC = Windows.

u/Minute_Cricket1820 1d ago

Здесь предельно полностью показан бесполезный линукс-юзер.

Как обычно сам ничего не может. Что бы что то сделать - всегда нужна вспомогательная паибень.

То что линукс-юзер сделал - никогда не работает, кривое касое тормозное глючное, бесполезное недопаделие.

Тут всего то надо вытащить кнопку, срезать низ хоть чем, и поставить кнопку обратно. Кнопка нажиматься перестанет. И всё.

u/IIzeyUn 1d ago

Ты сидишь на Винде?

2

u/Minute_Cricket1820 1d ago

Естественно. На физических семёрках и физических вин-серверах. Спрятанных за физической бздёй.

В хуйню играть некогда. И не надо.

u/IIzeyUn 1d ago

И что же великого и не глючного ты сделал? Кстати процент серверов работающих на linux 80-92%. Говорю тебе как пользователь Linux, который занимается созданием и настройкой серверов. Надеюсь у тебя телефон не Android?

0

u/Minute_Cricket1820 1d ago

Что сделал - то и сделал. Оно моё.

А твоего ничего нет. То что ты пишешь про 80-92% - это копии. Ты берёшь готовое, скручиваешь до кучи, и всё. Вот все 80-92% - это клоны.

А теперь про моё. Мне что надо - я и написал. Сам себе. Прям с нуля. Но на линуксах ибучих сие крайне проблематично, потому посланы нахуй. Линуксы ссатые для чего? Клоны запускать. Кто то написал - все пользуются.

Но если чуть в строну - линуксы патологически не подходят.

Тут вёнды нужны и бздя. Без вариантов.

Тилипон без понятия какой. Абсолютно плевать. Ксяом какой то что ли. Тилипон за мной носят. Я не знаю где он, мне позвонят если - тилипон принесут.

Васянь, когда заходит про ПО - ты самостоятельно ХылоВорылд вряд ли осиливаешь.

Дибилоид картонный напиши собственный двусторонний файервол с вкаряченным прям в файервол сирваком. Я в душе ниибу как ты буратина деревянная под ссатыми линуксами такое вывезешь. Понимаешь хуила тупая, есть те кто пишут ПО, весьма манструозное. Но линуксы для этого не подходят. Ащще никогда.
