I think it's just worth mentioning in the marketing material because laptop keycaps are generally hard/impossible to swap out individually because they're not really standardized. So it's actually significant that it comes with a non windows logo super key out of the box.
Just one of the little things that all add up to make it feel like Linux is a first class supported thing on it.
- tedunangst 4y agoMaybe I'm just too cynical, but this seems like something that's so superficial, you'd only call it it out to distract from something else. To convey the feeling of first class support, without actually providing it. If I'd been the product manager, I'd have made the change, then strictly prohibited marketing from mentioning it precisely so that people can notice on their own. I've run not windows on laptops for years, with custom key bindings for the windows key, and not once has it ever bothered me that the symbol on the super key is some funny squares instead of the word super. It's a really small point so probably not worth dwelling on, and yet, they chose to make it a focus point of their copy. I get try hard vibes.
