    I generally agree with you and I am trying to love Linux. But it’s hard when even the RBG keyboard doesn’t work. Just one example. Not gonna go on a rant. But yeah. On windows that stuff just works.

    And it’s the small things that eventually turn people away.

      Not really, it “just works” after you install some sort of proprietary crap software that is a couple of hundred MB from the hardware vendor, that opens up a few security holes and is never patched and is constantly in your system tray.

        I would phrase it as “this vendor refuses you support me as a customer”. It’s not Linux that doesn’t play well with X device, is X device manufacturer making the conscious decision of not caring.

        Similarly to how Apple watch doesn’t work with Android phones.

            thanks for the suggestion but I am not gonna create a discord account. I hate when developers shove their support to discord. The platform gives me cancer and invades my privacy.

            I have an old G213 Logitech.
