Pros and cons
What we like
- Cheat sheet spans six distributions, from Debian to Arch
- Extended size takes both keyboard and mouse
- Reference sits under the hands, no browser tab needed
- Shows you understand their craft rather than giving a generic novelty
What may bother
- Printed commands are fixed and cannot follow distribution updates
- Means little to anyone outside the Linux world
- An extended mat needs a wide desk
Our verdict
83 / 100Pick this for the programmer who already has everything: it speaks their language and saves a search now and then. It also suits an admin's desk or a student learning the terminal. Do not buy it for someone outside Linux, where it is only decoration.
