Ok, so I happen to be the paragon of security through obscurity.
Come at me bruh
The last 2 can be mitigated by just plugging in a different keyboard, the second one by just pulling the drive, the first doesn't really need mitigation, but nothing a $5 wrench won't solve.
This guy xkcds:
gets hit with wrench
cums "h-harder daddy~"
"well shit, now wtf do we do?"
"if you don't give the password I'm gonna stop" π€·ββοΈ
"B-but I'm into orgasm denial too" π₯Ί
After that point, you don't want to know what is in the laptop anyway
But, that's also when morbid curiosity kicks in~
That was the exact password.

The key map tends to apply to all keyboards.
Depends on your keyboard. I have the kind where you can quick switch with a key combination.
I guess it's possible for the keyboard itself to handle that, but I've set that up in the OS on both windows and Linux machines. And when I replaced a shitty keyboard with a better one just a little while ago, it had Dvorak already as the default layout.
Yeah of course. That's how I did it when I tried Dvorak a couple of years ago too. Just mentioning that stuff is possible today.
"My $5 wrench says you better start installing Windows."
"Sure thing, just let me wipe the drive in the process..."
Keymap isn't going to change automatically by plugging in a new keyboard...
Apparently I am too...
My keycaps are Morse code
Linux+i3+emacs+dvorak+querty_mech_kbd
damn it. I am "one of those dudes"
Switching to Dvorak caused the gratifying result of people that would just start trying to use your keyboard without being absolutely befuddled.
I used my own modified colemak layout for some time.
Hey, me too!
