Dvorak just isn't better enough these days, and linux even has built in Colemak support, so it only has an advantage if you're attached to some products of highly proprietary companies that insist on only supporting qwerty and Dvorak. Except if Dvorak's status as the official alternative counts as a meaningful advantage to you.

I didn't say it was for French. I said the French (as in France) use
it because it's supposed to be better for Latin-based languages. I
don't really know if that's true or not, all I know is I did some work
in France and Dvorak keyboards were widely used and people there said
it was better; some hadn't even seen a qwerty keyboard! I personally
found it very perplexing and frustrating coming from the qwerty world.
