For something relatively fast, I suggest you stick to Intel chipsets, and avoid realtek like the plague. As others mentioned, you can go with Atheros, but your speed will certainly suffer, as well as probably breaking the ability to put the computer to sleep with S3.
I understand you would rather go with 100% FOSS, but this carries trade-offs.
I’ve seen you commenting on each option given that “it’s too expensive”. To help us help you, what is your budget and the minimum DPI you would be comfortable with? Be mindful that some advertised DPI are just that, “advertised”.
“uninstall”? 🤔
Never mind the fact that paying for a license doesn’t guarantee it won’t break. In my experience, every Linux distro I’ve used has been much more solid than all Windows versions since Windows 8.
Awesome. Fedora is my main driver (when i’m not distrohopping, lol). Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ll be taking it for a spin over the weekend.
Hyprland is definitively not noob friendly. Are you running it on Arch or Fedora? I’ve been wanting to try it, but with all the config file work needed, it scares me to have it break at some or other update.
We see these things differently. I would argue that Matrix clients are better organized than Discord. That said, not only is Discord a privacy nightmare, but ilthe interface is only pseudo-organized at best.
That’s a real brain fuck. Now I need to go research this.
My gut is circular, that’s bullying 🤣
When I look at my gut, I ask myself the same question 😭
I did the same on a PC I built like 10 years ago just because “why not?” 🤣
I’ll watch it right now and come back. BRB.
Edit: now I have to “arrr” that series and watch it. 🤣🤣
There are many reasons Microsoft software is only “good” (and I’m using that word loosely) in business and home settings. Can you imagine a rocket taking off and windows suddenly “rebooting to complete updates” (or whatever it is that it says along those lines)?
Yeah, I’ve no idea what happened either, as I’m not that smart, lol. I just tend to move away from stuff that breaks easily. I searched a bit around to see if I found anyone else with this issue, but found nothing even remotely similar.
Could be that my hardware is the issue? I was running it on a Gazelle 16 (System76) with an RTX3050Ti. But Fedora Workstation has always worked flawlessly on it.
Since Fedora 37 I had issues waking up from sleep and hibernation only on my laptop with an NVIDIA card, never on my 2 Ryzen PCs.
Since Fedora 40 it works everywhere now. I’ve always been on Gnome, so that could be a factor as well.
Here’s the deal, most people from yesterdays started on Ubuntu or something similar. So, they suggest what worked for them. I just moved my wife away from Windows and straight into Fedora, I haven’t had to help her on anything other than once she could not find the printer (it’s on another VLAN and she was not connected to it 🙄). She is loving it and just last night told me, and I quote, “I should have changed sooner”.
Fedora just works, but another factor may be that Debian and Ubuntu based distros are LTS what le Fedora is more semi-rolling, this helps with stability, thus it makes sense to suggest something with less probability of breaking suddenly than something they may need to roll back.
As for atomic distros, YMMV. I find them sluggish during install, boot and when starting an app for the first time, and in my case, broken after a few updates (would not work on Wayland forcing me to log in over X11).
That has not been the case anymore for months. We have 3 different Fedora Workstation 40 computers/laptops and 1 Nobara laptop, and they all sleep and hibernate just fine, and wake up just as well.
That’s to be expected. Linux distros are barely just getting their feet wet in the tablet/mobile world.
I have no use for tablets, but if I did, I’d certainly go the Linux way and deal with whatever I have to before ever thinking to use Apple, Microsoft or any Google OS.
Ok, this one will work, I got it for my son and he’s on ZorinOS. After programming the buttons (must be done in windows) he can plug and use the mouse, without drivers, on any computers (windows, mac, Linux, remote terminals) and preserve his customized button commands.
I got away with configuring on a windows 10 VM passing the USB port through.

Make sure you get the black one if you’re going to go this route, the white one is more expensive and it’s the exact same thing, not worth the extra money in my opinion.
