    I want every distro to have a “we don’t do that here” popup when that key is pressed.

          And then instantly a notification native to your DE saying “someone pressed the button”

      Yes, but this replaces the right control key iirc

    Huh, I guess I figured it would just work. When I nuked copilot forcibly from windows it turned the key back into your standard menu key.

      On Microsoft’s part, I guess. The support this article is talking about is supporting the ability to map the ‘Copilot’ key to whatever you want.

        :) I’m lucky enough to have bought my Windows computer and switched to Linux before the Copilot key. But if I got it now, it would feel really good switching to Linux to make the “fuck you I don’t want to use this and you wasted my keyboard space with it anyways” key useful again.

      Yeah but it’s a good thing to be able to use that hardware with sane software (Linux)
