I know you mentioned Keychron seems low form factor, but that’s not my experience with the K10 Pro. I have been using this keyboard for a few months now and I love it. I got mine with Red switches.

Maybe the pictures you were referencing weren’t very good but the switches aren’t covered by anything.

There’s a top plate that covers the PCB, but the switches are fully exposed and fit snugly against the top plate to prevent dust from going down onto the PCB.

I took a couple of pictures of my K8 Pro which is identical in construction to the K10 Pro. One with the keycap removed, and one with the switch pulled.

Shifted to MX Linux, based on Debian, with Xfce desktop. Looks not bad in my opinion, but let's see how it goes. @thelinuxEXP @linux @Linux @debian

Honest question, but why not just install Debian with the Xfce DE? Why rely on a fork for updates?

From what I can tell both by testing MX Linux and by reading about it, it’s nothing more than Debian with a few pre-installed packages and some customization. All of which could be done on Debian directly without much trouble.

Not saying you have to or anything, and I can understand and respect using something like MX Linux to save time on the customization. Just know that because it’s based on Debian, any core OS updates will be delayed while the MX team rebases them into their fork.
