From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wish I could change the keycap of this key on every keyboard I own.
heres a sticker if your really dedicated
"Cute little thing like that, yeah, I'll grab 20, one for each keyboard in the house, a few at work, a few left over for harmless pranks SEVENTY NINE DOLLARS clooose tab"
I'm sure the quality is nice but I'm just gonna scribble Tux in with sharpie.
Since it was $79 I assume you just typed 20 in the quantity, but if you do the multiple quantity discount for 10 stickers it's half as much. $2 per is still a bit on the expensive side, but it's not nearly as bad lol.
Did you click the wrong discount? $79 is the price for 100.
Interesting website; I did not know New Hampshire has a secessionist movement.
Just put a lil bit o' tape over it. I'm actually insane and put tape over most of the logos around my house hahahah
Well it's not like they paid you to display their logo. I think you're just fiscally responsible and more people should do that.
I wish more people would. I think it's ridiculous that we've put up with buying all these tools and appliances that come with ads like pimples all over. Pisses me right off.
You can but unless they're easily swapped with a ready made key it's usually not worth the time effort and cost.
Couldn't you just place a sticker on top? I know that you'll either not get the led light or it's gonna look a bit funny in the dark if part of the windows logo shines through if the sticker is not thick enough, but you can place a tiny tux sticker there!
That'll work, as long as you never touch it. Between skin oil and just the physical touching it wouldn't last long.
One option is to pull the keycap off and paint over it. If you feel really crafty you can sand off the coating to make whole keycap translucent and use a stencil. Personally I don't look my keyboard that much that it'd bother me and it's made by microsoft anyways, their ergonomic keyboard is the best one I've used so far.
