A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

I did try switching, but gradually I also unlearned how to use QWERTY. If only we lived in a world with no hardcoded keyboard layouts... For 5% improvement it's just not worth it for most people.
Yeah it's the same reason most pc games just support the Xbox layout by default making it the only reasonable choice for controller.
I'm pretty sure that also has something to do with windows being the most popular gaming platform and Xbox coming from Microsoft as well.
Yeah the original reason was that supporting the controller by default was a requirement for "games for Windows live" and the momentum from that saw a near universal adoption.
I see, makes sense. Thanks!
There are so many things pointing towards ditching QWERTY - WFH jobs, mobile devices, portable keyboards, even virtual projected keyboards rather than physical ones.
On the other hand, laptops are a bottleneck - even if nobody else uses your personal one but you, they still have to make one with a nonstandard layout (will e.g. Apple ever do that?) - and just bc newer, younger people learning how to use computers for the first time could choose a different layout, doesn't mean that many will (I mean at the mainstream level).
you can install the Colemak layout in software with one click. Works on Linux, Mac, and Windows. https://colemak.com/ I think if another, better layout catches on it could eventually be printed on devices
