Ergodox EZ -- QMK
Oryx is just a web based front end to QMK, which is the firmware in the keyboard.
There are things you can do, dealing directly with QMK, that you cannot do via Oryz.
One is to tweak delays to taps versus holds, as an example.
Not that there is anything wrong with Oryx, but someday you may want to
dive into the deep end. QMK goes beyond Ergodox.
The ZSA fork is for stability if you only deal with Ergodox and ZSA products.
Like any open source project, QMK is continually changing (and perhaps evolving).
