+A few months ago I have decided to switch to the Dvorak layout. After using
+QWERTY (well, QWERTZ, to be precise) for almost 17 years, it was a hard
+decision, but now I think it worthed the try. I started with the UK (Dvorak
+with UK punctuation) layout, and in about four weeks, I’ve almost reached my
+original typing speed. Today I have modified the Hungarian xkb definitions file
+to add the Hungarian accended letters like ű to the layout, so I don’t have to
+use dead keys anymore (which apparently turned out to be a problem, as the
+Linux version of Java doesn’t support dead keys at all).
+
+Best thing is, as I never learned proper 10-finger typing, but learned Dvorak
+that way, I can switch between QWERTY and Dvorak more or less painlessly (about
+10 minutes of confusion, so to say).
+
+Conclusion: I don’t know yet if this was actually a good decision, but it
+wasn’t bad, after all. But seeing people’s faces when they try to type on my
+machine totally worths it.
