Why num lock is set off by default in #linux? It's so irritating... >.<
On my side, it is activated by default (Fedora with GNOME)
@gnomelibre in Fedora with KDE it is not. As well as in Ubuntu (GNOME), Endeavour OS, Manjaro OS...
If you are using GNOME, you can use Dconf Editor to change the value of /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/keyboard/numlock-state
@wojslaw I have it on by default in Fedora KDE since time immemorial. Often there's also a "BIOS" setting.
