Spent the entire weekend getting nothing done because my xorg won't work properly with my UK keyboard.

Turns out that the keymap was "gb" and not "uk", and because of the annoying utility used to set keymaps I didn't know...

And that is why Linux is a pita for bob down the road. Windows can do similar

@philcr I'm aware that Windows probably has an easier method, but I wiped Windows a while ago over concerns about data collection and the fact that I really like customising my stuff.

@osmarks I wasn't saying that windows is better, just saying I've spent many hours with both trying set keyboard layouts. Windows 10 on a colleagues laptop kept defaulting to US even though we were setting UK as default and deleting US from settings.
