Changing keyboard layout fails

Hello, I installed debian, 12.4.0 on 2 laptops. One of them, a 2023 ASUS Zenbook 15" 7735U, I cannot change the keyboard mapping on. Changing it on the other works like a charm. I initially set them up as dvorak, for my own ease, and now I want it to be qwerty. I have temporarily worked around the

Interesting audio problem

Hello, I'm not running debian, rather Gentoo, but this happens with any distro and sound card (so far), so I figured this is as good a place as any to start (though linuxquestions is a close second). My sound card is currently (according to lspci), an ATI/ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA), though I

Good keyboard

Hello, If I'm remembering rightly, a while back (months), there was a discussion about keyboards. I noticed this one and wanted to know if it looks good and is worth $220 (the average BK goes for $100, so you can imagine my surprise), I'm uncertain. I'm I know that this might be an opinion matter.

This is not exactly about debian, but I could not resist the opportunity. I noticed a user who knows much about CD and DVD drives and I'm curious about what books or docs he might recommend to learn about the topic, for if things continue as they are, it seems we will run out of people with the
