For a good while the default US Intl keyboard in some Linux versions would give a ć instead of a ç for the combination c + '
Makes sense right? Except that made a lot of people angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move
Because Brazilian users were expecting c + ' to become ç
(And they had to use Alt Gr + c instead)

As Pole I never had this issue. Why would you even use US Intl keyboard. Even for Arch with install everything manually I haven't any issues

The US international keyboard settings suck. It's more convenient to enable a compose key and do diacritics with that.
Not sure what there is to lol about. '+c still composes to ć for me, and that makes sense to me; AltGr+, is ç, AltGr+c is © for me. But all of those symbols are outside my national script so I cannot say that any of them have been burdened by weight of expectation.
