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.

Best way to create a Macro Keyboard? (lemmy.msinfo32.uk)

I'm looking to create a macro keyboard (full keyboard) which is separate from my main keyboard, under Debian with KDE Plasma running under Wayland. I have seen similar tools for X11 but they do not work under Wayland for obvious reasons. I have been able to create basic macros using Python, but is there a much better way for Wayland?

This doesn't seem to be able to run & open applications though? Seems like it may be useful however though, thanks!
