The Fuxk Button | Best DIY Tool for Linux Beginner

A simple DIY button to utilize "TheFuck" tool to correct your previous commands

When you just got started with Linux, there are a lot of commands to learn and we often got them wrong which is frustrating, infuriating sometimes, so I made this The Fuxk Button to send a "fxxx" command which trigger a fantastic tool to help us correct our previous console command, and it's totally DIY-able and open source

I have stumbled upon a FANTASTIC project --TheFuck when I just started learning Linux and the "notoriously"-hard-to-remember Linux commands and I immediately fell for it, because it makes learning Linux commands a LOT easier -- In fact, with this tool, you don't even have to remember all the commands name and usage, just anyhow type in a command and then type "fuck" followed by Enter and TheFuck will take a guess what you want to do and gives you suggestions or corrects what you typed wrong -- both literally and syntactically for you. That's no wonder it is ranked top 50 most starred Github repositories according to GitStar.

But I took this project a bit further and create a button that you can smash and release your stress while type in the fuck command for you XD

It uses BW16 (Realtek RTL8720DN) dev board which emulates a Bluetooth HID keyboard and a enconder (you can replace it with a push button if you like), so whenever you hit the button, BW16 will help you key in fuck command and follows with a Enter

The project is a WIP one and I plan to replace BW16 dev board with a smaller module to make the button even smaller, then add battery to make it completely wireless (now the USB cable is to supply power only).
