I went with xfce because it said it was lighter weight. Switching to cinnamon is easy enough, I only have steam installed so far.

I am downloading Mint xfce currently, was to see how that runs and if it goes well do cinnamon. The laptop has an M.2 SSD, unsure of the capacity, but I am going to guess 512gb.

congrats on having one btw

Coming up on 24 years!

I have Mint xfce downloading already. I figure I would live boot that and let her get a feel for it. Then try Cinnamon or another distro.

I ordered a k1 max from keychron today. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay, but it looks to be a good board. This one looks interesting. I have used ergo boards but never a split board.

The water content would cause issues too, as would the sugary syrup.

Some sites return wireless keyboards even when specifically searching Bluetooth.

I like those! I may replace my main keyboard with one of those too.

I have the k480 which I like for typing and such, but for gaming I find it too small. It looks to be similar to your 380 but the 480 has a slot to hold a tablet or phone.

I do like hearing the 380 has a case though.

I was looking at the Logitech mx keys s, but it is $130. At that point I would probably go with a gaming keyboard.

The problem I have run into is the keyboards I am finding are either wireless with dongle, or very small TV keyboards.
