The US (and apparently Canada) use the ANSI 101/104-key (long shift) design as a basis for their keyboard layouts. Africa appears to use layouts based on either design. In Asia, the Japanese JIS 106/109-key layout (which features elements of both, most strikingly an ANSI-style long left shift and an ISO-style vertical Enter key) appears to have had a fair bit of influence, as well, but there also appear to be layouts based on ISO and ANSI, directly.

@Shonicheck

Though it's not exactly how would you run something like that. You would just probably want to abandon DEs all together since they are bloat. Also shrinking the binary size is not gonna boost your perfomance, so i don't see why would you want to run puppy or tiny core since their schtick is extremely low memory foorprint and small binary size, and this guy in the vid has 2 gb of ram and atleast 16 gb of rom, which is a fairly big room to play around with without drastic measures like this. In fact the only choke point for the low spec machines like that are modern web and modern office standarts, both of which can be somewhat circumvented. For web you would just probably have to go with js turned off and maybe you would want to look at something like palemoon(i do not reccomend it in a long run, since it is much slower than mainline firefox in security updates and generally has more attack vectors that are there "by design" like old plugin apis or support for flash), it won't be a smooth expirience, but web nowadays is just fucked since some sites manage to choke even modern machines, so it's just your best bet and it's far from unusable. The second problem though is somewhat different, since unix utilities have A LOT of great office suit software that is not Microsoft Office compatible, but since we are talking about what is relevant today... well i'd go with LaTeX for text documents(or groff, if you want to go all unix till the end, but be aware that latex has much better math typesetting and a lot more packages that can help you in your typesetting,groff is also much more painfull to work with in languages different than english), you can pair it with pandoc to convert it to doc, if you dislike pdfs(also if you do dislike pdfs do try reader other than adobe reader they offer much better expirience), LaTeX and pandoc do require some learning but they are much more powerfull and effective tools than word ever might hope to be(and they always do exactly what you tell them too). Sc or sc-im for spreadsheet calculator - much faster than excel, has a ton of math functions, has plugins to extend them, sc-im has lua support that is GREAT, much better than that vb crapp in excel, also supports plotting with gnuplot, sc-im can read and export excel files, sc-im has great vim-like keybindings. For presentations... well i usually go with reveal.js, but if you are too disgusted to use browsers for your presentations, you can go with LaTeX-Beamer, and your presentations will be pdfs that can be made interactive to a degree, or you can goo full-blown suckless and use that minimalistic show or whatever, though it does only support plaintext and no markup. For emails i would go with neomutt, but you can choose alpine or emacses e-mail client- some say it is good, thunderbird if you want gui, but personally i don't think that you should. As for other stuff - all the classics are more than fine: xorg-for x server, dwm for window manager(you can choose some other wm, but i personally prefery dwm for its simplicity), neovim for text editor, maybe emacs on the side, and all the other sprinkles like dmenu, statusline, etc to suit your taste. With all that said, apart from some inconviniences with migrating to such workflow - it is not bad, in fact it is faster, more convinient to actually use and can look absolutely stunning if you tinker with theming a little or just download some dudes configurations. I can speak about it confidently since more or less it's my workflow.
