Arch Linux: A minimal Linux Distribution with a focus on Modernity, Simplicity, Versatility, User Centrality, and PragmatismHey Geekhack! My name's Ram and I'm here to show my first ever keyset, GMK Arch, it's a keycap set inspired by the 5 principles of
Arch Linux which were stated above. This is a Linux Distro I’m especially fond of, and use daily as my main. 3 of its 5 principles,
Modernity, Versatility, and Simplicity, have influenced this set. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Arch Linux Foundation.
(Percentage not final but most likely 10-15%)
# ls gmk-arch/colorsThe modernity of the dark grey, simplicity of white, and versatility of deep navy help make this a visually pleasing set that’s
usable on almost anything and is easily legible in all lighting. The sparse use of teal helps this minimal set gain a pop of color,
making it a bit less boring while still not being in your face.
# ls gmk-arch/kits│The Shell Kit is where it all starts, containing everything you need for the most common layouts along with
│alternatives if you want a mod pipe or no accent keys.
├── Shell 
│The TTY Kit is for those minimalists who prefer a uniform design, and allows you to use a full black
│and teal set, including an extra tab key so you can cover two boards of course.
│
├── TTY 
│The Powerline Kit WIll cover any spacebar needs you might have.
│
├── Powerline 
│Can't handle a terminal? No problem, just install the GUI and you're set with full icon mods!
│For people like me who prefer just having icons over the busy look of text.
├── GUI 
│The true way to show everyone that you use Arch, the superior distro, with an Arch logo and an
│I use Arch BTW Key included for that finishing touch.
