It’s easily to mistake power button for DEL. Maybe we can make the power button less sensitive – requires longer key hold time to trigger. So that it can cause less inconvience.

There’s probably a way to code the firmware to do it, but I’m the last person to be able to tell you how 
But if we find it useful, we can suggest this idea to Purism’s development team.
I think another thing a user can do is to put a sticker on the power button. So that it feels different from other buttons. But be careful not to scratch the screen when the laptop lid closes.
Pretty sure in the power settings you can set pressing the power button to “do nothing.” Been a little while since I used gnome though.
You should be able to set short press of power button behavior in power management settings of operating system.
“Hardware power off” takes quite long press of power button. This behavior is probably programed in EC firmware: https://source.puri.sm/firmware/librem-ec/-/tree/master You may change it as you want, but I would do it only if I really know what I’m doing.
Yes. Changing the behavior in the operating system is much easier than modifying the firmware. I’ve changed it to “do nothing”, since I don’t use it for power-off or suspend anyway. Thank you.
