Okay, that put things into scale for me.

There: 🫴🔪

Pick your side.

Eh, factory farming is messed up too even if you eat the bodies.

I was also scared of supernovas and meteors.

Ouroboros is ouroboros.

Is it published anywhere?

I mean, the top level comment refers to the title and not things breaking in general where OP complained about needing to troubleshoot right now before being able to be productive. Being able to postpone troubleshooting to when you can afford it is a massive benefit exactly for this reason where you need to get things done now or just want to do something else in the moment. For the same reason my root is on a ZFS pool with 2-way mirrored vdevs and I have (non-zfs) mirrored boot set up as well. No matter which of my drives fails I can take care of it later without any impact on my productivity or loss of data. I never used hyperland but heard of it stability issues ever so vaguely and while choosing different window manager (because that's what it is to ppl) may have solved this specific issue at the cost of sacrificing preferences the expectation for your system to never break is absurd. Things will always break at some point and it can come from any direction. Being able to hande the breakage gracefully is the key part.

You can rollback and take care of it later when you have time spare.

Okay, before I knew it I had wrote a whole essay going over my plans and whatnot but deleted it after realising I went off the rails and that I'm not even close to finishing.

The relevant tldr is that it wouldn't work in practice and layer shifting is not the issue but the frequency of it is.

Also yeah, simbol layers are a thing. And because it's just for convenience I don't plan to adapt the layout to work with all keyboards as glove80 does the job with it's thumb cluster (which only half of is comfortable enough to reach with my hands).

I don't have much to recommend since I dove straight into enthium but qwerty is just such a bad unhealthy (aka unergonomic) layout that choosing any of the mainstream alt layouts will be objectively better for you and any system shold have them. Here are some general pointers though: https://getreuer.info/posts/keyboards/alt-layouts/#which-alt-keyboard-layout-should-i-learnand https://cyanophage.github.io/index.html

The most low hanging fruit would be having the more common characters on home row. After that the improvements become exponentionally harder to get and more opinioniated since everything is a tradeoff of sorts and preferences come into play as well.

< rant> I may know significantly more on the topic in a few months since I'm trying to design my own 1-handed layout/layers for one split keyboard half for convenience and/through independency from needing to use two hands to do anything on the system. I find it super hard to find keyboard layouts meant for one hand and even those I find are overwhelmingly lowballed garbage that simply split existing layouts like qwerty and slap a mirror layer key on it completely disregarding any and all unique needs for such a workflow. Like, ~1/3rd of your key presses should not be spent on shifting between mirror layer in a situation where efficiency is more important than ever since you are already giving up 1 hand and half the keys when opting into such a layout. There are many people that actually have only one hand and don't do it just for convenience so I'd have assumed that there would be something well designed and battletested like enthium (which is 2 handed for clarification) simply because it would be an accessibility thing but apparently not. So now I will have to study ergonomics of keyboard layouts from start to finish and then some to cover the additional unique contraints of one handed layouts. As far as my initial research went it doesn't seem like there are good layout analysers taking layers and layer switching into account which makes it even more complicated to work on such a layout. ;-;

Regarding typing there also doesn't seem to be any controller centric virtual keyboards (or remappers) that optimise for text input speed and ergonomy on a controller. I use a basic system-level remapper to make the thumbsticks act as cursor and scrolling with the other keys be bound to given keys depending on a given workflow since sometimes I just want to relax and do something in a comfortable position but it's not apparengly a thing either. And those are just 2 of my multiple issues that are in my way of making my system feel juuuuuuust right to use. 🤬 </rant>
