you are a real linux user don't let some neckbeard tell you otherwise :P

lmao you joke but half this thread is exactly that opinion

finally, somebody in this thread who doesn't live in the past.

System package manager is for system binaries. Not for applications.

sounds like a modern approach

IMO flatpaks are the future of installing linux apps. The comment you replied to lives in the past. System package manager should be for system binaries, not for applications.

I always thought this less sandy southern side of the desert was called the Sahel, not the Sahara? or Is the Sahel part of the Sahara?

Dvorak was designed a long time ago for typewriters, i.e. it tries to alternate hand movements, which some people like but many find it makes them slower.

Colemak is meant to be closer to qwerty and was designed for computer keyboards.

Then again I'm sure Dvorak is already miles better than qwerty and the differencesneith Colemak are minor. I think the reason I chose it originally was because of some youtube video but I don't remember what it was called.

Also I really like the Colemal DH mod.

Tbf most of my layer toggles are happening with a thumb, which isn't possible on a normal keyboars because they give you a 10x wide key for your most flexible digit, and no other keys in reach.

I recommend a keyboard with at least 3 keys in the thumb cluster. Once you figure out what you like and get used to it, it's like a superpower

It was a real game changer for me. If you combine it with layers for accessing numbers, arrows, symbols, home/end etc without moving your hand, it makes typing so much comfier and faster

Funny enough I use Colemak with my ergonomic (split, columnar stagger) keyboards only, and qwerty on mobile (and on my laptop since it has qwerty keyboard labels).

I recommend, in order of increasing effort:

1. briefly learn touch typing but then develop your own style with a more relaxed wrist position that de-emphasizes excessive hand movement, uncomfortable movements and crazy pinky stretches
2. get a columnar stagger, split keyboard
3. learn colemak (I like Colemak DH)
