   @SuperSnekFriend @greentext @marlin To add to that, it's a common thing for old-school Linux users to either cover up the Windows key, or to special order a keyboard without the Windows key. Some diehard nerds would buy a Sun layout or Sun inspired keyboard, such as the Unicomp UNIX layout board. This featured a ctrl key swapped, a shifted escape key where ~ is, and also a diamond "meta" symbol, instead of a Windows key (as seen on Sun keyboards).
   
   There's also Mac layout USB keyboards but since they usually cost more and are hard to find, when Apple designed the USB keyboards for Macs, they mapped the Command key to the Windows key as on older USB Mac keyboards and ADB keyboards, the same key was labeled with an Apple logo. This would also be the marketing gimmick for the original Mac Mini, which was sold without a keyboard and mouse (you would bring your own over).
