    iirc Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win is an alias for the Office key found on some Surface Pro computers, which can be used to open LinkedIn with Office + L

      Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win is one of the most windows things that could happen. You just press some keys that should do nothing and boom, microsoft ad. I hope the EU version of windows will be stripped of that crap.

          My personal machines are all on linux already. But unfortunately my work laptop isn’t and won’t be unless I find a different job.

          Dual boot? Disgusting. Windows doesn’t get the privilege of bare metal in my house. It must relegated to a virtual machine

              VM gaming was a lot easier to setup than I expected. Anything is possible with the Arch Wiki! Some anticheats will block you though, so super competitive games like Counterstrike or Apex Legends are out

      Ah, so that’s my ctrl+alt+shift+win opens the office app. I discovered that a couple of years ago and I couldn’t find it documented anywhere.
