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.

Requesting advice on converting a Laptop Keyboard from QWERTY to Colemak-dh (feddit.ch)

I can handle the software part. I just want some ideas on how I can change the keys via a cheap and less-effort method. It is not a Peripheral keyboard, just the one integrated with my laptop.

Conclusion: Because numerous people have said it now, I will try to just build a muscle memory of it like I did w/ Qwerty and may not use stickers. Thank you everyone.

but I'd avoid converting until you're able to touch-type. then you can show off to everyone w/ your weird-looking keyboard layout lol
