Just built my first ortholinear keyboard!
Keyboard/case: Ortho60v2 from #cannonkeys (https://cannonkeys.com/products/ortho60)
Switches: #akko Rose Red (https://en.akkogear.com/product/akko-cs-rose-red-switch/)
Keycaps: Custom order from #kromekeycaps (https://www.kromekeycaps.com/)
Ortho linear means all the keys are arranged vertically and straight, with no key offset like you'd find in regular keyboards. The idea is you can type faster (after getting used to it), and offset keys are no longer necessary since we don't use typewriters anymore.
Just to expand a little,
ortho-, as a prefix, means:
As in orthogonal, or orthographic.
Or sometimes just "straight", or "corrective"(?), like in "orthodontist" or "orthopedic", I suppose.
