Can't wait for mainstream laptops with ortholinear layout and split space bar.

I don't think that's ever happening. They're still using a layout that puts I and O next to the numbers row as a remnant of the era where these letters were used as numbers. Can't blame the laptop manufacturers either. Masses are going to come out with pitchforks if any major laptop manufacturer changes anything with the keyboard.

I was hoping for this to happen with Framework. Alas, it did not.

Given how long staggered qwerty has been around (longer than computers have existed for) I wouldn't hold my breath
