As the other person said, I’ve tested in Wayland in KDE

Thank you for that insight. I didn’t end up using this but as you said, this is very powerful and I’m glad I know it exists!

Thanks both for the information and the confidence. I went ahead and deleted the gnome packages and nothing seems broken so far. The dnf remove @gnome-destop didn’t work, but dnf remove gnome-* worked. I made sure all the packages being removed were ones I no longer wanted and all looks well!

I want everything GNOME gone. Decided KDE was more my style

That seemed like a lot of hurdles to have jumped through but I’m glad you stick with it and that you’re enjoying it.

I originally thought people were crazy for using 40% boards, but with home row mods I’m now using 34 keys and I would never go back to using a standing row stag 60% again lol.

Welcome to the ergo split club, and the months of tinkering with your layout until it works the best for you :)

If you’re feeling up for doing practice, doing more complex word sets (English 1k-5k for example) will probably yield better results. I find that practice only really shows meaningful results the next day at the earliest once you get past probably around 60wpm.

As to using fewer keys, I’m down to 34 keys for my main layout (still using a regular 60% for gaming), and if it’s something you want to explore, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s been a super great experience and I basically don’t move my hands/fingers anymore. If you want some extra inspiration for a layout, I’d be happy to share mine with you.

Glad to hear you’re still enjoying it. Keep it up man

How fast were you before and how much practice are you putting in? And where are you at now? I hope you’re enjoying the journey :)
