The "| + \" key on the keyboard doesn't work, and installing non-gui distributions is impossible

This looks like what I remember finding that worked:

Keyboard layout unable to recognize pipe

After modifying the Librem version to 3 in 90-purism-pipe-symbol-fix.hwdb file that ewout/quban specified, I was FINALLY able to get the keys to work properly in Qubes 4.0 Solution that worked for me: Create /etc/udev/hwdb.d/90-purism-pipe-symbol-fix.hwdb with the content: evdev:atkbd:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnPurism:pnLibrem13v3* KEYBOARD_KEY_56=backslash Run: sudo systemd-hwdb update sudo udevadm trigger Notice that the file contents specifies pnLibrem13v3* not pnLibrem13v2*

Can you try that solution and see if it still is functional? If you still have problems, I can try reinstalling qubes and retracing my steps.

Thank you, I will check it out. Don’t worry about reinstalling!
