Perhaps asking in a windows forum would be more appropriate.
what? it LITERALLY asks if you want to add an additional keyboard when you set it up for the first time. and adding one afterwards isn’t hard.
circlejerk post.
You can’t delete the default one it thinks you will use based on your locale, and it reverts to the default on boot. Also has the worst shortcut to silently change the layout (contol+shift)
I’dv deleted the default, it’s never come back.
You have to change… 1- your default OS language (download all the language files, ZzZZz) 2- change the locale 3- apply the new locale to “all”, which is the login screen, current user, new created user.
Go in regional settings and adjust if needed, then reboot with a USB drive on a distro of your choice,
1- go through the installation 2- update if needed
Now you should have the desired keyboard.
Except my layout (bepo) is not in any specific locale and was installed manually. So I don’t think this would work

Why is insert any thing so complicated in Windows compared to GNU + Linux?
Because Linux is just a kernel.
It is pretty easy on KDE.
Because Linux is just a kernel.
This is too short. Here is the long form: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/incorrect-quotation.en.html
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Excuse me Mr Stallman
Because Windows sucks?
No way!
damn, must have taken you a few nights to come up with this one
This is a Linux community. Not sure what you imagine most people here think of windows…
If you think this is normal then imagine what other people think of the linux community though!
But here’s the issue: the parent comment didn’t even provide reasons why they think Windows sucks or examples/episodes where this was a problem for them. It adds nothing to the discussion, just free hate.
you are the reason people hate Linux users, you cant just let people do what they want, always has to be some competition and “windows sucks”.
just be normal, windows has its place whether it’s for you or not.
Yeah it has its place. Just not in a Linux community. Is that hard to understand?

??? You’re just baiting now lol
I don’t know about these days, but I remember making a custom layout for Windows back in 2005 that was US Qwerty keyboard plus AltGR+auose for äüö߀ (German umlauts and euro symbol).
I forget how I did it, as I haven’t used Windows for serious work in years.
I’ve not used windows regularly since XP but I recall being very confused that the keyboard layout setting defaults to being per-application rather than syatemwide. Don’t know if that’s how its still done and I have no reason to care.
Which is actually my preference. How do you get per application keyboard settings for Linux? Seems like it’s not usually built in.
