And now I’m (slowly) typing this in dvorak.

The vi keys are better than qwerty’s home row. It’s been two days and I’ll die on this hill.

Is it terminal?

Edit: Guess I should mention it’s a Nuphy Air60 V2 given the com. I was a bit hasty.

    Yep, this site and DreymaR’s have been a big part of my layout exploration and wrapping my head around layers.

    I’m actually considering switching to something newer instead like Colemak-DH (really interested in wide mod not having a split board) or canary, graphite, gallium, etc, etc. So many to look at. I kinda glossed over Colemak in general wanting to really step away from QWERTY and start with good habits. Dvorak is an eye opening wonder for me, I’m just not sure it’s what I want to stick with. It’s honestly amazing it’s still ergonomically competitive with all the computer-aided layouts today. If I can figure out enough of the theory and my own preferences, I might look at making my own. Not so sure about that yet.

    I don’t know what I’d be more excited for. A new machine can be incredible depending on the jump in specs. But I think the RTX card in my laptop that I could finally game on was even overshadowed by using a high refresh display for the first time. Peripherals really make a difference.

      Cool, man, let’s do it together! I already switched my key caps around on my mechanical keyboard, and replaced QWERTY with regular Colemak on GBoard on my phone. (Sadly the -DH variant wasn’t available there). All in, baby, let’s go!

      Peripherals really make a difference.

      Definitely. I remember the first time I got a high frame rate display, was in complete awe. All that motion!

      depending on the jump in specs.

      Indeed, this should be a fairly good jump, I think. I built my current machine in 2020. Now:

      • 3900X -> 9900X3D
      • RTX 2080 Super -> RT 9070 XT (it’s no 7900 XT but it’s a big upgrade for the buck)

      Along with all the other modern upgrades you can think of. So I should be ecstatic lol. But my mind just keeps drifting off to the Voyager 💀
