I can only guess you have a variant keyboard layout and your desktop automatically defaults to a main layout, check this page to see what variant your keyboard is and then go into the settings of your desktop environment and switch your keyboard layout. If that does not help then I would check what keys are wrongly mapped and use that info troubleshoot on MX Linux forums.
Personally I have latinamerican spanish layout and it was pretty easy to set it up during installation and even after.
Also, did you choose MX Linux because it is first on the Distrowatch site?

What exactly do you need help with?
Pretty sure that the thinkpads are one of better supported laptops out there for Linux. And going through installations nowadays is easier than ever.
That said I recommend checking on any distributions page for:
- Hardware support
- Software Availability
The rest is personal preference:
-
If you are an advanced user then reading the documentation available should suffice to make a quick informed decision.
-
If you are a non technical user then choosing a distribution that ships (preferrably defaults to) a Desktop Environment that you like will be the most important decision you will take. These DEs have their own suite of apps, interface and workflow. Choose Gnome if you prefer clean, intuitive and easy to use interfaces or KDE Plasma for more customization and control. Maybe even the very light XFCE for low end computers. You will find that Plasma looks like a Windows interface and Gnome looks like a MacOS one.
-
If you are somewhere in between I suggest testing the easy stuff first and then going on to the harder stuff later.
In the end the most important thing is to test things out, knowing when stuff is out of your reach of skill and not to get lost in the sea of options.

Hmm, its amazing but for some reason the archive action is not working. It seem that it is because infomaniak has an "Archives" folder and not "Archive"

I tried Micro and I found that its just Nano with a better interface and much easier to use. Its great actually but I like the vim movements.

How do you guys get software that is not in your distribution's repositories?
*It felt so good man*
Just found out about [Zen Browser](https://www.zen-browser.app/), has someone used it already? Its [Github repository](https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop) looks to be under very active development and growing fast in popularity. Zen Browser's website claims to have features that [Floorp](https://floorp.app/en) and [LibreWolf](https://librewolf.net/) do not. I'm not that tech savy so I would know how to evaluate the browser fairly, does anyone here knows something about it?

Hi guys, Currently the cursor gets larger on gtk4 apps such as nautilus, celluloid and blanket on wayland compositors like Gnome, Plasma, Niri, Hyprland, Sway and River. The cursor behaves normally on any other window, even on gtk3 and gtk2. This only started to happen about two days ago after a system update (I assume). I used gradience(before any of the trouble started) to set gtk themes and it's optional dependency adw-gtk3 and it worked fine. Adw-gtk3 is now adw-gtk-theme which is weird since gradience is still asking for adw-gtk3 to set themes even though adw-gtk-themes & adw-gtk-theme-git are listed as optional dependencies now. I have searched many forums and this is the only thing I could come up with that may have been the cause(on my end), I can't wrap my head around it really, tried several thing but with no luck... Anyway, would appreciate any help and if you are experiencing the same feel free to comment.

Hi guys! Would appreciate comments and recommendations on remote desktop apps. Currently I have looked at wikis and articles but none give me their opinion. Need it to help my parents and grandparents because we all know that guiding them through the phone is torture. Rustdesk works fine on Arch but unfortunately the client on Mac OS has been buggy. Would prefer FOSS over Anydesk and Teamviewer. Thank you in advance!

Just curious on how people here organize their files and if you use something like Stow to manage a messy home directory.
