Yes, I decided i wanted to learn touch typing a while ago, I switched to a different layout from QWERTY called Coleman, it's fairly similar but puts the most common letters on the home row or near your first and second fingers, while keeping the position of common shortcut keys like Z, X, C.
I also switched my keyboard to an Ortholinear style which i found helped with my accuracy as i was learning.
I know what you mean, I bought a PSP and PSVita after my Steam Deck and currently I'm using the Vita as my goto emulator, the PSP is great for when I'm out and about and want something smaller.
I used to use
~/dev
but for years now I use~/Workspace
becaue Eclipse made me do it
