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.

Personally nothing but when I look at it I wonder if the big bang could actually have been a white hole.

As far as I am aware, the "Windows" key is generally mapped as the Super key, not he Meta key.

My bad then, as I mentioned before unfortunately I have no such keyboard available anymore.

No problem, though I must admit I'm curious about your keyboard as it is quite uncommon to not have one. Are you using an older keyboard that lacks one or one of the "winkeyless" enthusiast mechanical keyboards or maybe a really small form factor keyboard?

one of the “winkeyless” enthusiast mechanical keyboards...

That's me, in fact you can see my keymap at https://github.com/Utopiah/zmk-config-zen-2/blob/main/config/corneish_zen.keymap#L27 for my Corne-ish Zen 3x6

Corne-ish Zen 3x6 I can definitely see why you don't have a dedicated Windows/Super key then. I do find Super... ahem... super useful though, so you my consider adding it to a layer if it isn't already there. I was never able to adapt to any of the smaller split or ortho keyboard layouts. I sold my OG Ergodox after stubbornly trying to use it for so long. My only winkeyless boards now are my vintage keyboards that predate the windows key.
