NumLock and Linux

linux4noobs@programming.dev · 5 months ago

So, what’s the deal with NumLock? I have it tuned on in the BIOS and in KDE settings, yet every time I boot up my PC or open the terminal as super user, it is turned off. Any way to deal with this? That happened on Bazzite, Fedora and now Cachy. I have a 100% keyboard and I want to use all 100% of it.

Because for some reason Linux developers do not use the number pad. This is the worst default.
