From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How to set a combination of keys in xmodmap? (lemmy.world)

What if I want to combine Ctrl+Shift+1+0 to obtain "≠", for example? I'm saying this combination, like I could say any other (like a+b), it's just one example.

I don't have the information regarding xmodmap, but here are two other options which I am using if you are interested.

With the compose key set, you can hit / = to get ≠. Or you can set custom sequences in .XCompose, but I don't believe you can get the exact combination you suggested.
Use a virtual keyboard manager such as KMonad
