Lol idk if there's a maybe little sarcasm there, but honestly, I love it already. I've been averaging about 15 wpm at 80% accuracy, and getting the groove to manage a few seconds at 30 wpm is so smooth.

Also thought I'd mention keyd (if you use linux). It's a system-wide remapper. I considered whether to use software or the firmware, just because keyd has such a neat spec with layers, oneshots, and key overloads. It's great.

I haven't tried it with vim in full yet, but I was surprised by how comfortable the hjkl positions are in dvorak. i like tiling window managers with win+vi keys for navigation and such, so it would be important. Dvorak L is kind of annoying at P, and I'm trying to make myself hit it with the pinky usually, but it actually feels alright for keying around in navigation.

I mostly don't want to have to end up rebinding everything, possibly for every program I use indefinitely, if I stick with the layout. So I'm just learning the new positions to start, and will probably always need a way to switch to qwerty for games.

Really wondering to myself if I should take this seriously or not, but I use doom with evil-mode fwiw. Both are holy saints.

I used Via because there's a qmk version of the firmware, and yeah, I just set one of the layers to the layout. The Nuphy has a switch for Win/Mac mode that toggles between layer 1 (with 2 and 3 for modifiers) and 4 (with 5 and 6 for modifiers), so I can switch easily between qwerty. I actually did that to finish this cause I'm still slow as hell lol.

Emacs is "just" a text editor that's an operating system in disguise, waaaay too configurable and macro'd out than any software should be. Or like all software should be, maybe.

As far as the keyboard, I got a Nuphy Air60 V2 as my first. Maybe not super top, but it's comfy and I'm loving it. Emacs is a rabbithole, unless you wanna get into that too lol

Oh, and the switches are Nuphy's special moss LPs. I think they're supposed to be like slightly heavier browns?

DivestOS has my attention as a graphene user. Not to switch, unless I ever get fed up with the pixel.

Divested is behind the Mull and Mulch browsers, for what it's worth. I never looked deeper than using Mull, but apparently Divested is one person.

I just whittle away at it with "eh, I probably shouldn't..." again and again. That is until I've hoarded enough interest or I'm feeling particularly impulsive

I like how you assume double-checking would save my dumb ass. Hell, maybe it does. I'll run fdisk or lsblk, stare at each character, and run it again just to be safe

It's not a contest, but I think this one wins it for me. I haven't even scanned it yet.

An S with a / for an 8 may not be the most upsetting aspect here, but it's on the chart.
