    Home Keychron K4v2: Custom built (franken switch) Kailh Silent Box Browns. Bottom housing, and Springs are from Kailh Box Royals. Top housing, stem, and tactile hammer from the Box Browns.

    Work Keycron K4v3: currently have the stock Keychron Banana switch and they are ok. I like the spring weight but im not in love with the rest of the switch. My board also came with 5 bad switches so thats not a great selling point.

    Travel Keychron K17 Pro: Gateron LP Blues, fewer options so these are the ones I like to annoy people with on the train or airplane.

    I have a bunch of other keyboards with different switches ranging from Outemu silent white, purples, to Cherry brown, and silvers.

    I cant even remember all the switches I have, and I have given away so many to friends…

    If there is complete societal collapse, then gold is going to be worth nothing, because you cant eat it. Bullets on the other hand you can use to take peoples food, or hunt for your own. So invest in bullets!

    Now if you just expect financial collapse but not total societal then sure gold, silver, bonds are probably fine if you want “safe” stable ways to hold your investments.

    In most cases, its just fear-mongering and gold has no more actual value than paper currency since they both derive their value from sentiment or perceived value. So if you show up at my house and offer me a small gold bar, you value at $10,000, and I value it at a potato, then your $10,000 is actually only worth a potato.

    Hey, sorry for the delay, I am glad to hear that @curbstickle@anarchist.nexus had Wireless Workbench running on wine because Proprietary software like that will be the biggest hangup.

    For Qlab, how are you using it?

    As for limitations, the biggest one will be stuff that is “industry standard” but was only ever developed for Mac & windows. Most stuff should run fine under wine or have an OSS/FOSS alternative worth using but specific tools that are by the MFG could be a problem.

    https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.linuxshowplayer.LinuxShowPlayer Linux Show Player may be a good option to replace Qlab, but I have not used it personally.

    If these systems are going to be deployed and used by other techs its not a bad idea to look at an immutable distro like Bazzite might be a good fit.

    One aspect of Linux that is different from windows is you get to select your desktop environment, IE window, menu, default applications, ect. The two big ones are KDE (a highly customizable windows like interface) and Gnome ( a more Mac like interface but still customizable). There are dozens of other window managers but I would focus on those two since they will be good starting points.
