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.

They manage to make it so complicated it's a whole thing to even just delete the default keyboard layout it thinks should be the default for your language too, if it stops adding it back at all.
I want "French (Canada)", not " Canadian multilangual english CSA" or "Canadian multilangual french CSA".
It's not like any of them even matches the US keyboards we end up using anyway, everyone knows the labels on the keycaps never matches what key it actually prints. Just let me pick the god damn layout I want.
On Mac it's even worse because you have to install it from some random dude's GitHub, and because it's a third-party layout, it straight up won't let you delete the default one just in case, and I have to switch it back whenever it mysteriously decides to switch to the other one on its own for no reason.
On Linux:
loadkeys cfand done.Personally on Mac I never had to change my layout again, and if I had to it's just an icon to click and it stays that way. On windows however, like you said, it's a nightmare
