Bug Description

Why is there a Windows Logo as the Super-Key? If I am correct, Ubuntu LINUX is supported, not Windows. Why then put a Window's Logo? I'm a bit nervous about this issue now. I believe it should be fixed.

I just got my System76 Serval and I have to say, this is the only disappointing thing about the machine. The "Powered by Ubuntu" sticker is nice, but I'm not sure it quite makes up for the Windows logo. If an Ubuntu logo on the keyboard (like this one http://www.zareason.com/shop/product.php?productid=16162&cat=0&page=1 ) can't be done soon, could we just get a blank key? That may be better anyway, as users might switch distros.

Workaround: get a sheet of "Mixed Ubuntu Stickers" from https://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=125

They have stickers small enough to cover the Windows key.

See attachment.

It should be a picture of Tux, not ubuntu. what happens if people want to use other distros, like debian, or suse? Tux represents linux in general, not just ubuntu

They get those stickers then... but afaik system76 offers ubuntu as the
default choice. Same with ZaReason.

That looks really nice. Do you have plans making such a keyboard for desktops too? I'd certainly buy some of those. :)
