For OP’s question (just to stay on topic before we veer off), would you still recommend a Linux distribution on their MacBook Air?

Edubuntu seemed like a good choice to reuse their existing hardware and have a safe environment. There’s lots more choices to choose from

I’m only casually using my Linux MacBook but haven’t had any troubles with the keyboard.

Although a nice tiling window manager sounds like fun. I’ll have to look into it.

+1 for Linux but use your MacBook Air. There are Educational Linux versions that would be a great environment for your kid to learn to code. It can also be set up with kid safeguards.

You can also run Linux from a Usb if you’d rather not install it over MacOS

I recently put Linux (Mint) on my old 2015 MacBook Air and it’s been really great.

Sweet… Thank you, this is great!

Love all the pictures you added, really shows how your setup is so portable and easy to adjust for your preferences. Almost perfectly vertical is quite cool.

I didn’t realize the voyager had a metal base plate? That’s pretty handy.

Appreciate the Amazon links, after all I’ve had the same difficulties sourcing locally ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yea please! I’m such a nerd when it comes to the “how it’s made”. Will happily look at however many photos you put of your setup. (And the name of the accessories that you’re using too)

For example what’s the black base that you’re using for your split boards?

Super clever way to have a portable setup that you organize once and move around with you. I wish your post had even more pictures of the way you put everything together.

It’s so clever I might want to do something just like that…

Thanks for sharing your journey so far.

It was a good refresher on QMK (nice intro if someone had never heard of it) and I enjoyed your cap locks hack.

How’s your Model 100 in comparison?

Thank you for sharing!

I’ll be getting a Corne with MX keys so I appreciate you’ve provided the files to alter your case. (I’ll just need to make it taller)

It looks really sharp, and nice keyboard.

Wow, that’s just wild. Loved watching that video, thanks for sharing.
