Perhaps it's a 32-bit application and it needs lib32-zlib.

What does ldd ./runner say?

But everyone says its always breaking and gives problems. That’s because of users, not OS… right?

It's an exaggeration, it doesn't always break but yes it occasionally does. Any Arch user who tells you otherwise is lying or hasn't used Arch for very long yet.

That’s because of users, not OS… right?

No it's because of regressions in new releases. Arch relentlessly marches forward and always tries to give you the latest-and-greatest version of any package on your system. There is some testing done obviously, but it can never be ruled out that newer software contains new bugs and regressions that are not caught in testing, and that it ends up being released.

To give an example of such a regression, the past few weeks there have been some kernel releases with broken bluetooth support for the (very common) Intel AX200 chipset. It is fixed now, but if you wanted to use bluetooth, Arch was in fact broken for some time.

The fix is usually: temporarily rollback the offending packages until the issue is fixed upstream or until a workaround is found. It does mean you will occasionally have to spend some time diagnosing issues and checking user forums to see if other users are having the same problem.

There was a short period of time when enlightenment was the default window manager for Gnome, later to be replaced by Sawfish. It was a hideous experience by the way.

Early Gnome was weird. The Gnome File Manager was also originally based on the terminal program Midnight Commander.

I wonder if it’s possible to run their remapping program in a Windows virtual machine.

That should work if you can pass through the entire USB host device to the VM.

I do this with my QK80, which also has Windows only software. I have a KVM virtual machine with Windows, and when I want to configure the QK80, I use the "pass through USB host device" option to give it direct access to the keyboard, and run the software in the VM. It works fine.

If you do this, you temporarily need to connect a second keyboard though because as soon as you pass through the keyboard to the VM it becomes inaccessible for the host OS.

It's Beaker from The Muppets!

Yeah, different issue then. Too bad, wish it could have helped.

Do you have a ~/.config/startkderc file?

If so, remove it. That fixed the issue for me.

I had this file because I used it at some point in the past to turn off systemd integration in an attempt to fix some other issue.

:n!

Well the C64 didn't come with a numpad either, and the tenkeyless format is way more popular than full sized keyboards with mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, at which this keyboard is aimed.

I went numpadless 12 years ago with a Filco TKL, never looked back. A full size keyboard just feels awkward to use now with all the deskspace it takes up.

Plastic-y is a feature for keyboards like this. Clicky switches need a hollow plastic case to sound nice.

I have an NCR80 (a light plastic Cherry G80 clone) and it sounds glorious with Kailh Box Jade switches.

It is the most popular lemmy instance though, so them banning a community like this is quite impactful.

IIRC they banned piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com months ago. Not sure why it pops up again in the modlog. It was the reason I left lemmy.world.
