starting out with linux

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Let's quote this page of the Arch Wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_console/Keyboard_configuration

--quote below--
A persistent keymap can be set in /etc/vconsole.conf, which is read by systemd
on start-up. The KEYMAP variable is used for specifying the keymap. If the
variable is empty or not set, the us keymap is used as default value. See
vconsole.conf(5) for all options. For example:

/etc/vconsole.conf

KEYMAP=uk
-- quote ended above--

As this is a systemd thing, not all distributions use that. Slint doesn't.

Cheers,
