I had an attempt prior to 2017 that I also gave up on so don't feel bad.
One concern I had was when I need to pair program or work on friend/family computers.
No one can use my computer but I can get by using theirs. I'm very slow on QWERTY but I use it so little that I don't care to keep that speed up. Some people do both but I am not one.
I also do a bit of gaming and do not relish the idea of remapping keys in every game.
I found this to not really be an issue. Once you remap them they are remapped for the life of the installation.
Dvorak actually did the research to come up with a keyboard layout that is designed for humans
That's what resonated with me too. But if Dvorak is not your style you may want to try out Colemak.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
