So, what's the deal with NumLock? I have it tuned on in the BIOS and in KDE settings, yet every time I boot up my PC or open the terminal as super user, it is turned off. Any way to deal with this? That happened on Bazzite, Fedora and now Cachy. I have a 100% keyboard and I want to use all 100% of it.

I've been wondering about this. I've only had this issue with Fedora based distros, but not Ubuntu or Debian based ones. It's extremely annoying, and the system settings having it on and same with bios don't do anything. Num Lock is on by default for Mint for example - same system. Even freaking windows.

These are strange times for the NumLock club. Strange times...
