Upgrade my Fedora kinoite pc to v41 a couple days ago without a hitch, but a couple days (and updates) later I noticed that the left super and left alt where switched, and I can't enter any special chars like €. Toying around with locale and keyboard settings didn't help until I noticed that a little switch on my bt kbrd was wrong. This has a key to switch between Win and Mac mode next to the on/off switch, and I probably must have switched it 🤦‍♂️ #KDE #Fedora #kinoite #fatfinger #feelingStupid
