Hi everyone, I’m definitely not a mouse expert, so please be gentle. I’m trying to get a Christmas gift for my partner and I need some quick advice from people who actually know what they’re talking about.

About him: - Loves building and tinkering with hardware - Daily Linux user (desktop + framework laptop + mainboard for occasional couch setup) - Enjoys tweaking settings, experimenting, customizing anything and everything! - Codes a lot, scripts a lot, and does long sessions at his desk (all for fun, what???) - Runs his own self-hosted home server that he remotely manages wherever he is - Also plays FPS games enthusiastically (I guess?) - Currently using a heavy full-size aluminium custom keyboard (most definitely, Monsgeek M6 with custom caps, for anyone curious) - I just ordered him a NuPhy Air75 v2 as a portable “couch keyboard”.

Now I’m looking for a premium wireless mouse that:

1. Works really well on Linux (ideally without losing key features)
2. Can still give him all the nerdy tweaks and settings he might want to experience on both systems equally
3. Comfortable for coding + productivity, but also responsive enough for FPS gaming
4. Can switch between his devices smoothly
5. Bonus points if it has some fun/interesting features that tinkerers love

Mice I’ve been looking at based on my research: - Keychron M6 Wireless (4K, or 8K polling versions) - Logitech G502 X Lightspeed - Logitech MX Master 3S/4 (not sure how well the advanced features work on Linux?) - Razer Basilisk V3 / V3 X HyperSpeed (seems better supported on Linux than Logitech?)

I’m honestly lost. 😅 My problem is that I don’t know which of these give the full experience on Linux vs. which ones lose features without their Windows software. He’s smart enough to use Solaar / OpenRazer etc., but I want the mouse to feel like a proper upgrade, not a compromise.

If anyone can help me choose between these, or suggest something better for a tinkering, Linux-using FPS+coding enthusiast, I’d massively appreciate it. I only have half a day or two to order, so any quick suggestions (and why you like them) would help me so much ✨️

Edit: I think he uses a glorious model o wireless mouse? Not sure but looks like it, he has been using it for a whileeeeee it seems.

I'm on bazzite and ever since the new update every game crashes after about 1 min.

I've spent 8 hours trying to fix this and I just can't do it any more.

I hate windows and Microsoft but Linux is too complicated and glitchy.

Say what you want about windows but problems are way easier to fix.

This sucka cause I've loved my time with Linux but I'm sick of having to spend so much time fixing bug and busted updates.

I'm using Linux Lite and every time I plug a controller in, the left thumb stick is also used as a mouse. I've tried some things like typing "sudo apt remove joystick" (this didn't work).

The only thing that did work was that I used "xinput disable <controllerpointer>" but the problem with this solution is that I need to type this in every time I plug a controller in. Is there a way I can just tell Linux to permanently disable the mouse functionality in general for controllers?

As mentioned in the title, I am evaluating the best option to install the epic games store on linux.

Up until now I tested Lutris, NonSteamLauncher, Faugus Launcher, Heroic and stand alone manual cli UMU-Launcher and my results can be summarized as follows:

- Lutris no luck making it work. I abandoned it.

- NonSteamLauncher (NSL) works quite easily but sometimes games and launchers disappear from steam, moreover the interface to configure things is a bit limited. The Game scanner is very useful and has a nice feature very useful for Epic Games specifically

- Faugus Launcher is getting better by the day. Automatic laucher installer fails often but it mostly works. If you are able to install things on your own it is also useful to cover the last mile, being it creating the entry in the launcher, steam entry, desktop, app menu ecc.

- UMU-Launcher is the best solution in my opinion, straight to the source, but requires you to be able to write by yourself the correct launch command and then create shortcuts by yourself. I tried creating a script to guide the user in creating the command but it was too complex for me (not a developer) and I paused the project for the moment.

- Heroic nice interface but I don't find it intuitive (personal opinion), it has a lot of advanced features but they are scattered across the interface and lacks epic games cloud saves integration. Fine if you only have a single gaming device and you just want to install the game and play it without thinkering.

Now focusing on Epic Games specifically. During my testing with the various solutions I noticed that the only solution easily providing me with integration with the Epic Cloud Saves is non steam launcher. This because when the scanner finds a game, the launch command it creates is like the following example:

- "/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/NonSteamLaunchers/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games/Launcher/Portal/Binaries/Win32/EpicGamesLauncher.exe"

- "/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/NonSteamLaunchers/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games/Launcher/Portal/Binaries/Win32/"

- STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/NonSteamLaunchers/" %command% -'com.epicgames.launcher://apps/65c25644a2e0444d8766967a008b1d69?action=launch&silent=true'

I think this launch method is what allows NSL to integrate correctly with the Epic Games Cloud Saves. It seems to me it is launching the laucncher itself, not the game (first point) then in the launch options (last point) it specifies the game to launch and that the launcher is silent. The launch option also specifies the prefix.

Is there a way you can replicate this with other launchers or manually? I think it is just a matter of copying this command and changing the STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH value for the prefix and the game is after apps/. Where can I find app ids? I am also fine doing it manually for each game but I can't fully grasp how it works.

Been looking at swapping over to linux because of the same reasons everyone else is.

Was wondering if its possible to install on a usb stick for experimentation purposes but still have access to my windows drive.

Many of the games I wish to run use EAC, which im not happy about but looking through this subreddit it seems its not a huge roadblock.

I use linux from time to time professionally so I am not scared of CLI, but at home I want something that is low maintenance. I understand I am going to be doing a lot of searching for solutions etc, and am most likely the test case for my friend group also making the jump.

Any recommendations are appreciated, even if I have to custom build with mint etc.

I've been using bazzite for about 6 months and I loved it, until it stopped working.

All games ,especially high end ones crash the video driver. Andbenchmarks are even weirder. I can run a CPU stress test or I can run a GPU bench test but not both. If one is running and I start the other the video locks up.

I can still hear everything running and I can control my music with the media buttons on the keyboard but the video completely freezes.

This didn't happen before the latest updates.

Dose anybody have any ideas? Cause I may have to go back to windows if this can't be fixed.

CPU: ryzen 7 5800x GPU: and 790xt Ram: 32 gigs ddr4 3200

And yes I've updated my bios

​I'm looking to buy a Steam Deck and want to confirm if my planned usage is realistic. I'd love to hear from anyone using the Deck for both work and play.

I want to use it like this:

​Handheld Gaming: Mostly indie games, which I hear are perfect. But what about AAA performance for Elden Ring and other FromSoft titles? What's the realistic frame rate and stability I can expect?

​Docked PC/Dev Work: I want to use it docked with a monitor and M&K for programming and for playing Warframe.

Dual Boot: I'm considering dual-booting Windows for LoL compatibility. Is dual-booting worth the hassle for this kind of use case? If I dual-boot, how well does the Deck handle LoL in Windows mode with M&K?

I know the more logical thing to do would be to wait for the steam machine. Any practical advice on a stable dev setup or dual-boot experience would be great. Thanks!

I'm getting significantly worse performance on my 6600H running Linux Mint compared to Windows. Based on YouTube benchmarks, it's performing below a Steam Deck, even after copying equivalent settings and dropping the resolution to 800p.

My first thought was that the iGPU might be stuck in a low-power state, so I tried checking clocks with: sudo watch -n 1 cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_pm_info

But I get: cat: /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_pm_info: No such file or directory

I assumed debugfs might not be mounted, so I checked: mount | grep debugfs

and got: debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)

So, I believe debugfs is mounted. Then I tried: ls /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_sclk

and got: ls: cannot access '/sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_sclk': No such file or directory

At this point I'm not sure what's going on or if I'm on the right direction, I'm kinda noob tbh. Does this mean the amdgpu kernel driver for my iGPU isn't loading with full PowerPlay/DPM support? Or what? Any insights would be really appreciated.

I'm currently using Zorin OS on my old laptop and I'm very satisfied. What I'm worried about is whether I can use Debian on BC-250 for my first time with Fedora, or if I should just use Fedora-based.
