Yeah, I'll echo what AciD is saying.
I was getting terrible finger aches from the finger stretches I had to do when using Qwerty which was alleviated by switching to Dvorak and fixed completely by switching to an ortholinear layout. My wrist pains were alleviated by switching to the ErgoDox and whipping up a ghetto-stand (extending the existing tent kit with popsicle sticks to get steeper angles :P)
I will recommend switching Z and L on Dvorak though - moving the pinky down is just easer for me than up and I use L a lot more than Z.

Quoting: Philadelphus[...All these nifty keyboard options make me slightly sad that my Corsair Vengeance K70 I bought back in 2014 is showing no signs of needing replacement anytime soon. :P[...]

That's the one I was on before I switched to my ErgoDox EZ - just saying ;)

...I love dvorak, bepo, all those alternatives but their costs, wow!
I would love to buy a Ergodox EZ as it should be from my point of view a standard ... but that price XD, no way

Well, I think I've spent about the same on my ErgoDox EZ as I would have continued spending on the continued search for a better keyboard, wrist pads, programming gloves, etc. For comparison, I bought 3 normal keyboards and about 5 wrist pads in the year before the ErgoDox and haven't used anything else since I got it.
There are cheaper options as well; you can get a normal ErgoDox for about $150 less [External Link] if you build it yourself (you'll be missing out on the tent-kit, wrist pads and lights though) or you could build a Planck (about 50€ for the PCB off eBay).

I applaud their effort, we always need more keyboards, but with plenty of variations on Planck [External Link] and Ergodox [External Link] and the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard [External Link] already available, I'm not sure where exactly they'll be able to innovate. The current layout looks very squeezed and like it would require either a lot of hand movement or cramped finger gestures, so I'm not sure what benefits over a standard Tenkeyless or (better yet) a Planck they're going for.
Disclaimer: Still in love with my ErgoDox EZ.

And with a soundtrack by OGRE [External Link]?! Insta-buy.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt does look nice but actually I can't hack the music. I had to stop the trailer halfway through.

Same, what awful bawling that was. Muted, it's just a very slow slideshow; really can't get a feel for how this plays or what the themes are (apart from maybe something about a terrible musical karaoke night).

Is SGX actually used in any way on a standard Linux desktop though?

Quoting: CybolicHmmm... I'm getting the good ol' "missing executable" error when trying to run the game.[...]

Have emailed both the dev and pr team to get it sorted.

Edit: They emailed back, it's solved.

I can confirm that it is indeed solved. Thanks Liam!

Quoting: scaine[...] there are MANY times I've bought a (admittedly low value) game just to show the dev a Linux sale and with no intention, or even desire, to play it. That they all counted as Windows sales because Steam can't be bothered to check a user agent is really, really painful.[...]

Same here; even bought some "AAA" titles that I don't really care about all that much, but where I wanted to show that there's a paying Linux audience.
It hadn't even crossed my mind that a user with only Linux selected in their preferences, using exclusively the client for Linux and purchasing using a browser identified as running on, yet again, Linux, might actually count as Windows.
