I can play SF6 and Dota2 on Linux. Are those not competitive? If I'm able to play these games free of cheaters on Linux, what's stopping any other company from allowing me to play my games there? Guess what, games with kernel-level anti-cheat still have cheaters even when they universally block Linux from playing at all. Will allowing the OS with ~3% market share (specifically the subset of that 3% that will even be playing that game) make the cheater population skyrocket? I know your point is that you simply won't switch if you can't use/play what you want, but you're complaining about an instance where the only thing preventing you from doing that is the corporation who makes the product, and has nothing to do with Linux itself.

“This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in the statement.

They might not be so desperate anymore, thanks to your dumb ass.

Shift+Space Hotkey Changing Keyboard Layout (kind-of?) (lemmy.myserv.one)

Hi, I've been having a bizarre issue with my keyboard input recently and I can't seem to find a lead on what might be causing it.

Basically what's happening is I press Shift+Space, then in some programs, my keyboard layout is slightly changed. This happens in Firefox, Discord, and other electron apps as well. This did not happen in any system interface (KDE) or in Steam. It is also exclusive to the window that I pressed Shift+Space in.

On top of changing my layout, Shift+Space on its own no longer produces a space as I'd expect. Some key changes:

n > $
b > @
y > #
t > &
, > n
. > y

Holding shift on these gives new characters too, as if it were a different keyboard layout.

In the KDE settings, I don't see anything indicating that I have multiple keyboard layouts, and from what I could find, I don't have Shift+Space mapped to anything in any program, but this keyboard shortcut with this weird behavior still appeared from seemingly nowhere.

I have also tried using xmodmap per this forum post, but didn't seem to change anything. https://forum.manjaro.org/t/shift-space-doesnt-work/103703/10

I've had a hard time finding anything on this since searching this key combo gives a ton of garbage results. The closest thing I could find to what I'm experiencing was some issue people were having with Samsung DeX.

Does anyone have any ideas on where this unexpected keyboard shortcut could have come from?

Edit: I tried changing my keyboard layout to dvorak just for the hell of it, and it still behaves in the same way, when I press n, which is b on the dvorak layout, I get an @. So it isn't my keyboard either.

I also noticed that it only appears to happen when I am editing text, since the shift+space combo to page up in Firefox still works when I'm not editing text.
