Description Ilgaz Öcal 2024-01-14 07:10:07 UTC
I have noticed the "keyboard setting" promptly appearing in the very first boot (ISO minimal install) shows "Turkish F" keyboard setting numeric value. While it sounds rational, it isn't. 

Because of historical/technical and social issues, Turkish F albeit being optimized for Turkish is used by less than 1% (at most) of population. "Turkish Q" which is a modified European layout is used. It is basically called "TRQ" under Linux. As the terminal input with symbols really matter in first install experience, even remembering the keys (while it is impossible for 99%) won't help as you won't really remember the symbols.

Recommended Solution:

It better display "TRQ" as a choice, not TRF
