That does help. One of the things on my to do list was setting up a backup system anyway, so maybe I'll play with that. Thanks!

Thanks, that's really helpful. It can be hard to tell between commands and acronyms in conversation with familiarity

This is looking like a good option, thanks!

The old drives are fine, just either too small or too slow, so it sounds like it may be an option

Any help with the acronyms? I'm still pretty new to Linux

That's fair, if you're just looking for RGB control and don't care about mechanical switches or macro keys and stuff, then I would check out what @JTheFox@lemmy.world said about openrgb and see what works and is a decent price.

I'm partial to corsair right now, and have had Razer stuff in the past. Both are fine, though still probably (at least slightly) overpriced for what you get. Either way, I don't think you'll regret any of the big makers.

Keyboards in general? Or RGB keyboards? I think all keyboards work fine for core functionality. It depends on what you are looking for out of a "gaming" keyboard. The big makers mostly have alternative software to program rgb and re-keybinds for keys as far as I've seen. I know corsair has a good alt software for both binds and rgb, Razer obviously from this post, and I think steelseries has one but can't remember off the top of my head

Well that was anticlimactic, but I appreciate the information

I'm probably missing something, but what are the two bumps in December and Feb from?

I'm not sure, but it does have its own algorithm for swipe and things like that, with it's own library from what I understand

Bloated in what way?

A few months after that they'll release YouTube quix or something. Up to 45 second videos! Then extend shorts to 6 min, quix to 2.5 min, then add YouTube micros! Videos up to 25 seconds! Brilliant!
