Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Colemak is a keyboard layout for Latin-script alphabets, designed to make typing more efficient and comfortable than QWERTY by placing the most frequently used letters of the English language on the home row while keeping many common keyboard shortcuts the same as in QWERTY.[1] Created on 1 January 2006, it is named after its inventor, Shai Coleman.[2]
Most major modern operating systems such as macOS, Linux, Android, ChromeOS, and BSD support Colemak natively. A program to install the layout is available for Microsoft Windows.[3] On Android and iOS, the layout is offered by several virtual keyboard apps like GBoard and SwiftKey,[4] as well as by many apps which support physical keyboards directly.[5][6]
