If you have any questions I’d be happy to try and answer them. My favorite part is that it isn’t subscription based. Once you own a license, it’s yours. MacOS, Linux, and windows support too. There are hundreds of modules, with fantastic support for DND 5E, Pathfinder 2.5, and then Star Wars 5e.

Nice. I have seriously looked at this option too. For now I’m just too cheap to do it 😂
I’m way faster with Dvorak, and am 100% touch-typist only. If I look at the keyboard I’ll get mixed up. My phone keyboards are QWERTY though–go figure.
Foundry is a virtual tabletop I use for my DnD game I’ve been DMing for my group for the last four years. It’s only on windows right now because I also use it for streaming games from my gaming rig, and the Linux drivers for the Xbox controller Bluetooth option weren’t up to par. I’ve since gotten a Xbox wireless dongle which is supposed to work flawlessly. When I have more time I’ll probably switch it back over to Linux.
I run a node.js version of foundry as a service from it though, and everyone just accesses it through their browser window. I’m 100% with you on preferring Linux. My deadline for getting it switched back over is probably when win10 goes EOL, because it is an old enough PC that it can’t install win11 without the workarounds.
There’s another one of us! Quick! Take a picture!
I’ve only met one other person that knew who/what Dvorak was/is, and also reportedly used that keyboard layout.
I struggled with getting lost on the keyboard (several family members have dyslexia and ADHD–I’m not sure if that is related or not), and as an experiment spent 4 months exclusively using that layout to force myself to learn.
They never told me how my brain was also only big enough for a single keyboard layout. Usually in windows, games map to the same keys automagically. On Linux, not so much. I’m constantly remapping controls because I can’t be bothered to just have two keyboard layouts I swap between for games /facepalm
I think I have you beat for most vanilla.
I play games on PopOS, and host FoundryVTT on my micro PC running Windows for DnD. I also stream games from the PopOS gaming rig to the Windows PC so I can play them from the couch on the weekend.
Oh, Microsoft will still find a way to annoy them, mark my words
Didn’t we learn our lesson 24 years ago with Y2K!?
EDIT: To be clear, I was being facetious. I remember my parents and father freaking out about this when I was in middle school. I would have thought we got this taken care of permanently already
It’s because of shit like this that I’m glad I switched to Linux.
“Why are you doing that nerdy terminal stuff just use Fedora”.
Because nerdy terminal shit is cool.
explaining to me why Fedora better than my “nerd OS”
😂
Nope, you’re 100% right. Dvorak is efficient because it places high-use keys in the middle row and usually each key alternates between left and right hands. The use-case for a phone is usually single handed, or where you want one thump to be close to all the letters in a word. QWERTY is much better I think for one or two digits.
I tried it for a few hours because I thought it might be faster not flipping from QWERTY to Dvorak depending upon my device.
Turns out my muscle memory when using phones is as good as my muscle memory with keyboards.
