Is Dvorak even worth my time?

It's going to take a month or three to re-train that muscle memory, ano n

Give Colemak a look too, it's designed for Qwerty transitioners

Carpalx has a few slightly more modern layouts as well, with minimizing RSI as their goal

I learned Dvorak and it's great for typing, but if you do a lot of coding or use keyboard shortcuts it's kind of crappy.

I use colemak, but i don't think it makes much of a difference in terms of raw speed, some people can type ridiculously fast on qwerty

I learned Dvorak in a little over two weeks. I didn't use qwerty that entire time I was learning and just kept an onscreen keyboard up the first few days so I wasn't stupid slow to start.

I would recommend colemak over Dvorak, would have learned it over Dvorak if I knew about it.

it's worth listening to.

How the fuck do you guys deal with going to work or working on laptops etc?

I type at ~110 on qwerty. But I'm a professional typist so I'm outside the norm
Arthritis is a meme, stretch your hands every 15 minutes and you'll be fine.

arthritis isn't cts or rsi

yeah, when i was getting into it i realized that i was going to have to rebind fucking everything in every program i use (or live with stretching my fingers to really awkward places)

Work on your own laptop.

Dvorak - probably not, unless you're writing tons of literature in a typewriter fashion.
For computers, there is colemak, which is basically an optimized qwerty with most used shortcuts in the same place. I use it and I'm very happy about it. Transition took about a week or so.

Learn vim bindings instead

It's like replacing your arms with legs because then you'd be more efficient at running.

Just learn proper finger placement and download the Typing of the the dead and have fun.

I always find impressive the number of modern music that are from the 9th. Even if they aren't obvious like jaws, you can clearly hear his impact on music a little bit everywhere.

azerty is all you need

I use Dvork, speed-wise the difference is negligible, but it's certainly more comfortable which makes typing for long periods much easier.

I don't really understand the shortcut argument, it's not like it's hard to relearn them. That said, I don't often use the CUA shortcuts anyway since 90% of my worktime is spent in Emacs.

Most people are familiar with the themes from his 9th symphony ("From a New World"), and it is a great piece, but I also recommend getting familiar with the lesser-known, but equally-good 8th.
His symphonic poems are also a worthwhile listen. They offer a unique musical interpretation of traditional slavic legeneds.
