The number of times I had to ask "how can I tell where the file 'physically'" (I know) "lives" on the network when I took up work at a Windows shop, it was just baffling. And Win people couldn't understand what I was asking.

There's a location for this effing thing. I want to know where it is, really! How do I get that info?!

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 4 points 3 days ago

Physically, it's probably on your hdd or ssd. Or possibly just in ram or a data center somewhere 😜

It's not Win people. It is dumb people.

Any Infrastructure IT guy can tell you where specific files are stored, it is their job. Whether they mainly use Windows, Mac or Linux doesn't matter.

If you know what a nordic keyboard layout looks like, you'd probably prefer backslash. Since I moved to Linux a year ago I've been struggling to find the easiest way to forward slash. Shift + 7? Or numpad / with my right pinky?

Shift + 7? Or numpad / with my right pinky?

Yes.

For me it's even worse. Forward slash is also Shift + 7 and backslash is AltGr + ß?? I hate that computing is only optimized for US american layouts. Going by my keyboard, the filepath separator should probably be an ö.

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.

EURKey

Pressing ó is far less intuitive than ´ + o... hard pass.
