Quick fix fn keys in Ubuntu

If you have a 60% keyboard (a Blitzwolf kb1 in my case), you may have noticed that the Function Keys (F1, F2, etc.) are not enabled by default. This is because the keyboard is in "Apple mode" by default. To change the Function Key behavior to the standard Ubuntu layout, you need to execute the following command:

echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

This will change the FnMode to 2, which corresponds to the standard Ubuntu layout.

To make this change permanent, you can add the following line to your /etc/rc.local file:

echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

This will ensure that the FnMode is set to 2 every time you boot up your computer.

Here are the steps on how to do this:

Open the /etc/rc.local file in a text editor.
Add the following line to the end of the file:

echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

Save and close the file.
Reboot your computer.

Once you have rebooted your computer, the FnMode will be set to 2 and the Function Keys will work as expected 🔥

Hey, I hope you are well and healthy.

In this post, I wanted to tell you about my experience in changing from a large company to a small start-up.

A year and a half ago I moved to Spain from Italy And I started working in a large multinational company, I happened on a project for a fairly important insurance company. A technological hell (working with java 6 in 2019 is anachronistic), managing and transmitting information between us and the customer.

After a year and three months, I changed companies, moving to a small start-up of about 15 employees.

The best choice I could make for my professional career right now, excellent projects, with decent technologies and with confusional but coherent management
