Modern USB keyboards need to be asked what's being pressed by the CPU multiple times a second, but old PS/2 keyboards will actually interrupt the CPU to send the key press command

Oh, didn't actually know what's being done behind the scene...

Why is this relevant to Linux only?

It's not

Hm... then why is it posted in a Linux comm?

Because it's funny, there's nothing that you don't already know.

It's kind of a tradition among the r*ddit refugees from s*bs like linuxmemes and linuxmasterrace. Posting things that aren't strictly linux-related, but would still be appreciated in general by computer nerds.
