At home I have a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX browns and they feel great. I think this is the quickest I've been able to type on any keyboard.

I type a lot for my new job and no one cares if I bring in my own keyboard but for my coworkers sake, I don't think I want to bring in browns. I'm a heavy typer and frankly I'm loud on browns.

I searched for quieter keys and found Cherry MX Red Silents (Durgod keyboard) but after typing on it a few days at work, I'm making way more mistakes, I'm typing slower, and my hands are more fatigued. That's when I learned about linear vs tactile... I think tactile is what I need.

So with that, I'm looking for:

Need:

• Tactile
• Light switches (should not take much force to activate? idk. Browns are good for me, for reference)
• Quiet
• 100% layout

Want:

• Switches I can put the Draula keycaps on that my friend bought me. I just know they fit fine on Cherry MX Browns and Red Silent.
• USB-C port. I have a coiled cable I want to use already.

Nice to have:

• Hot swappable PCB

Open to other info I'm not thinking about.

Edit: After looking around some more this evening, I'm leaning toward grabbing a Keychron K10 Pro, grabbing some Zilents V2's and sticking those in there, then popping on the caps I have. This would be the most building I've done for a keyboard. See any issues with that?

Update

Based on the recommendations here and some other threads I read, I went with a Keychron Q6 Max and the Zilent V2's.

I confirmed that my poor speed and accuracy on the (previous) new board I had gotten was definitely due to my not being used to linears. After a day of using the new Keychron with Zilents I did a typing test and got a new PB.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Now I'm in trouble because I want to replace my home keyboard with the same...

I recently switched from Windows 10 to ZorrinOS (after a quick detour to NixOS... OOF) and in the course of setting things up how I like, I ran across some interesting stuff relating to flatpaks and shortcuts. I wanted to get this written to provide a resource for other people who might be switching.

This is a guide to making a shortcut to launch a particular Firefox profile, on a Ubuntu based distro, while running Firefox as a flatpak. This is just how I did it, put the files where you want.

1. Make a directory to hold the launch script and a shortcut icon. My script:

#!/bin/sh
flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -p youtube

Obviously, make it executable.

Because Firefox is running as a flatpak we can't just launch it using firefox. They're actually stored in /var/lib/flatpak/app and can be launched like this.

2. Create a text file in the Desktop directory with a .desktop extension like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=YouTube
Comment= Launches Firefox Youtube profile
Exec=/home/user/Documents/firefox-youtube/firefox-youtube.sh
Icon=/home/user/Documents/firefox-youtube/youtube-app-icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application

3. Once saved, make it executable. Right click > "Allow Launching". Done.

Just for fun, this is the image I like for it.

The inevitable at last arrived. Last month, for the first time, passively managed funds controlled more assets than did their actively managed competitors.

I honestly thought this happened a while ago...

I seem to remember this was a Reno 911! episode but my YouTube searching hasn't been able to find the episode/clip.

I think they were chasing a naked man but none of the cops wanted to touch him for obvious reasons. They made a half-hearted attempt to cuff/capture him but as soon as he crossed out of their jurisdiction (county line or something) they throw their hands up because that's not their job anymore.
