1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I'm in the process of this now. I haven't used Linux in like 15 years so I'm starting slow with my laptop. My goal is to be free from windows on my desktop and laptop before I have to go to Windows 11. I have to use Windows 11 at work and it's fucking miserable. I can understand some of the changes from a personal usage standpoint, but from a work related one there are so many features that just make productivity worse. I've had to change shit in the registry like 7 times just to get some quality of life features that they changed.

    Well then I guess I'm screwed. My work doesn't allow us to regedit.

    Switched to full Linux after buying a steamdeck and seeing how good stuff runs on Linux, but I only miss controls to edit my mouse setup and can luckily live without it

    In case you haven't stumbled upon Piper, it's pretty great for the mouses it supports. I've had a good experience with the couple Logitech ones I've owned.

    Thanks! Unfortunately not for my device, but hopefully someone else sees this and now is able to use their mouse proper again!

    If you want you could add your device using this guide:

    (Piper uses libratbag to support devices)

    think it'd be able to handle the extra programmable keys from my Logitech g110 keyboard?
