Well, I'm one. Fed up with windows BS.

As a Dane i can say that maybe its because Scandinavians are generally pretty tech savvy and good with digitalisation. Also Scandinavians has a low tolerance for bullshit.
I used this for a project once and its great. Super powerful and has a great API for automation https://kanboard.org/
If you like Ubuntu I can only recommend Debian with KDE desktop (don't install the default gnome DE).
I just switched recently and it's a very clean feeling. No snap and no nonsens. Just stable and trustworthy.
In my naive mind the steam deck is a huge motivating factor for developers to go directly to native Linux games. In reality it's probably given only little a consideration.
How long before the majority of game development is defaulting to Linux/Unix instead of windows? Getting native Linux games to run on windows is only becoming easier and easier with WSL? To me it seems like less of a hastle than trying to go the other way like we do today with proton and wine. Can someone enlighten me?
I had an old laptop do this some years ago and it was because the graphics card was broken. I had dual graphic card and found a way to disable the broken one in bios (dedicated one, could continue on intel graphics) but the computer was too old to reliably use much longer and it died even more a few months later.
The MX ergo has a normal scroll wheel and back/forward buttons like a normal mouse. The scroll wheel is responsive and present to use. Not free rolling like some other Logitech mice but I don't like that feature too much anyway. It has normal small bumps for each unit of scroll.
I had the same initial feeling about it when i got handed the mouse randomly one day. I was like uhg I don't really want to relearn how to mouse, but I'll give it a go because why not. I was struggling a bit at first, but I was surprised at how easy i caught on to it. Within and hour I didn't think much about how to use it anymore and within a week I didnt eaven reach for my normal mouse next to it anymore because it was just more comfortable to use the ball mouse. My girlfriend was the same when she borrowed or one day to play some Sims from the couch. It's especially good for that because you don't need any surface for it to work. It works anywhere. She just started using it with no training and now keeps asking for borrowing it. I can only recommend it. The Logitech is the best options tho. I'm not sure about the quality of other brands.
It's not for everyone but a Logitech MX ergo is a rock solid choice (ball mouse) since you don't move the mouse around it doesn't get nearly as abused and woren down. I have one I've used for 3 years now and it was second hand when I got it so god knows how old it is and it still looks in perfect condition.
I can recommend as well. It is maybe not the most beginner friendly OS since it works quite differently than most other OS's unless installed in a curtain way. Iirc. The installer is quite helpful in getting it set up correctly.
I hate this law because its so damn loud. Its so often i find EV's louder then ICE cars in parking lots and its usually and obnoxious chime sound that travels much further than the little rubble coming from an engine. I wish they'd change this law to something more restrictive so the sounds are not as loud and also less obnoxious so it cannot be heard from more than 30f away. I suggest simple white noise at som low 40 dB or something like that.
