That's a great idea to address that. I do it all the time :) Though, I
use different keyboard лаыоут ("phonetic"[1] one, not "йцукен" [2] one)
but that's because I write most of the time in English. People that
write most of the time in Russian would probably use the traditional
Russian one [2].

Interestingly enough, google when you search for дштгч (linux) does
search for Linux, but duckduckgo not only searches for Linux but also
presents as a first result Linux page of Russian wikipedia! I think it's
pretty smart.

P.S. both google and ddg know to handle уoutube (with cyrillic first
letter) too.
