You can repave a lot of Chromebooks with Linux, and should, if you're using one as a dev machine.

  The lack of one modifier key left of the keyboard is an issue to me. Equivalent Windows laptops cost about the same and have an extra key. And can run Linux just fine.

    Caps Lock is useless. Map it to Control and the search key to Super, and you have all the modifiers you need, and in a more comfortable configuration besides.

      That's still one key short.

        What do you use hyper for? It's cool that DEs support binding it, but I've never found a use.

          I use Emacs. I have use for as many keys as I can add to a keyboard (on my desk I have a PC 122 model M by Unicomp)

            I mean, I do too, have for over a decade now. I'm still much more likely to bind under a prefix than directly to a meta chord.
