Had a similar struggle with the German layout, but in the meantime I have moved to the “EURKey” layout. It is built in to many distros and available for Windows and Mac. It mimics a US layout while still having all the äüöß (and much more) I could ever need. Though I will say it’s only really worth it if you’re in IT or similar where you frequently need certain symbols.

I need to get myself a ThinkPad…

Not necessarily. I too have my doubts and even hope that this isn’t real, but it is always possible that singular border officers, empowered by the new definitions, take matters into their own hand. One look in Russia’s direction over the past few years and their propaganda laws, it starts with sporadic individual arrests. I visit the US on a semi-regular basis, but I think I will wait for at least a few months to see what comes of this, because even sparse arrests from bad-apple border officers are still a threat to my freedoms.

I would so love to switch when it is fully released, as it seems like a smoother better version of the workflow I have now with the current pop gnome shell, but I have never been able to top ~40fps in Wayland and there’s no support for x of course. Maybe when I upgrade my hardware :)

Is this from a US context? 10k for a mastectomy seems insane :(

This is a surprisingly accurate description of the difference between the days where I go to the office and the days where I work from home 😅
