The Microsoft sculpt: https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-us/products/keyboar...

It's had good Linux support for a while now.

The escape key is small. Do you find that to be a problem?

Not really, but I don't use it that much, except maybe with tmux or less.

I use now apple keyboard and is okay but I know it is not ergonomic. I think ergonomic keyboard is every mechanical keyboard

An older http://www.goldtouch.com/ergonomic-keyboards/, might even be version 1.

do you find that ergonomic keyboards significantly reduce your wrist strain?

Yes. With the keyboard in 20-30 angle it forces me not to have my wrists flat on the table. Same with the mouse. The goldtouch mice used to be 45 degrees (and too light-weight for my taste), the newer models seem to be 30 degrees. When I work on the laptop for a week, e.g. while traveling, I need more breaks to rest my hands.

Another happy Kinesis users here :)
