From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

@lack @LaggyKar wanted to try sway or other wayland based DE for better monitor support but being dependent on xkb for colemak keyboard prevents that.
Need to find a solid keyboard solution that works on wayland as well as in X11.
I do use a Dvorak_ES layout and it works perfectly fine in both Sway and Hyprland. I assume Colemark would too.
@SrEstegosaurio I use colemak from bigbagtrix that applies it via setxkbmap. Tried that on fedora sway spin, wouldnt work erroring cos it needed X11. Maybe should try out in other WMs like you said or try using kmonad.
xkb layout options are set in the sway configuration file in the
