  • Yes, on wayland you will need to run a particular program as root to be able to read all keyboard input. See xremap or mouseless (unmaintained).

    Since you already give the program plenty of trust to let it read all your inputs, I think running it as root is not outrages.

    That being said, in an ideal scenario, we would be able to set fine-grained permissions like, allow to read keyboard input but deny communication with other app, networks, and storage etc. But I don’t know any OS that can do this.

    A more straightforward way to remap key is to get a keyboard with QMK firmware, that doesn’t cover all the use case of ahk, xremap, or mouseless, but that don’t require you to trust another program to run as root.









  • LOL, this is a joke, on most popular distro it is quite easy, on ubuntu and mint, it is just clicking a check box and set a password for secureboot.

    On fedora is clicking a button, and run a single line of command.

    Many distro has nvidia images that don’t need any configuration, like popOS, ublue derivates, and vanilla OS etc.

    I have been using my old GTX1060 on ublue for couple years now.

    I think the complains are most about distro developers needs to do extra work, just because nvidia refuse to play nicely with open source, like everyone else did.
