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.

I guess we'll have to find a use for that new key on Linux, and Linux laptop vendors will end up with some alternative symbol for it...

Can't wait to accidentally press it while gaming, just like the Windows key!
As long as it’s treated like a media key and not an intrusion of the standard, then I couldn’t care less. It’s a stupid idea, but Microsoft is so often full of those.
Edit> And after reading the article…of course MS is intruding on the standard just like they did with the windows key, but at least that one was turned into “meta” or “super”. I guess this will guarantee I won’t buy another MS keyboard.
It's Microsoft, intrusion of standards is their entire M.O.
It's the "extend" in "embrace, extend, extinguish".

i dont really understand the revenue model here. i also dont understand how there's going to be enough computational power to do LLM shit for all windows users all the time? this sounds bad for the environment.

It's already bad enough that windows 11 has a bing AI button on the top left AND top right corners of the start menu. Like wtf
Another key for me to pop off my keyboard. Great.
Nope
It is literally just windows-C to open copilot. Good grief. 🤣
And being marketed as "our first upgrade to PC keyboards in 30 years". I want to be in the marketing teams conference room when this got pitched.

They did this same thing with Mocrosoft Teams. Microsoft execs are some of the dumbest laziest people.
i run linux on a surface and it's great. when it breaks beyond repair though, i won't get another because of bullshit like this
