I didn't claim that no solution to what I want, and what any Windows user wants. With xkb and kkbswitch, one can set up everything that windows does and much more. Xkb configuration isn't that friendly, that's true, you have to change the X server configuration file. Some distros provide graphic tools to do that, exactly like Windows, some don't. But if I had these from the very beginning, what would be my chance to talk to Ivan Pascal, the author of xkb code? What would be my chance to know all these inner workings of xkb, that allow me to configure it anywhere for anyone, and in the first place for myself, without the crutch of graphic config generators? I am blessed with the chance to learn and help others at no expense other than my time, and for that I am grateful. As far as Linux, Windows, software and hardware go, I was a user once, and then I could no longer be a user anymore. The good part is that is Linux, there is no "shit" if you know what are you doing, and even if something is wrong, you have a rare opportunity to change the behavior easily. This is, after all, an open source software.
