So, I recently migrated to Linux after too many years of Windows (Microsoft helped me by releasing the abomination known as Windows 11) and have been learning new things almost daily, and today is no exception.
Right near my Linux daily driver is my ChromeOS machine, and I enjoy it as well for what it is; yes, it's a data siphoning device for Google, but it's also a PHD (Push Here Dummy) machine that Just Works and requires no care and feeding.
While ChromeOS is purposefully limited, Google did open the flood gates here with ChromeOS's Linux environment and I leverage it often. One thing that recently stood out to me since migrating to Linux is Crostini's Terminal feels rather quick, but this also puzzled me. Why does my somewhat dated Chromebook feel fast while my overpowered Linux system feels just a little less fast?
Like most things Linux, I did a little research and found the culprit; my Keyboard Delay and Rate Settings don't feel ideal for my system. So, I quickly made some changes to these and, voila, Konsole and everything keyboard related (you do use the keyboard right?) is speedy! Yay! That said, if you configure this and it feels just a little too fast, try to give yourself a little time to get used to it before reverting the changes.
Hope this helps someone else enjoy Linux even more!
Cheers.
