Please excuse my rudeness. But people who, right now, after all that has happened; buy a new PC with windows pre installed. I meanโ€ฆ. How fucking retarded can you be.

I know that Linux sucks. Iโ€™m suffering throug it at the moment. But Iโ€™m getting there! It just takes patience. Fuck windows and everything American.

Linux doesn't suck. What sucks is using anything new after using something else for years. As a long time Linux user I am used to its idiosyncrasies and having to use Windows or Mac is painful.

[โ€“] DicksAndPizza@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

And itโ€™s the small things that eventually turn people away.

On windows that stuff just works.

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.

Yeah, I know. But at least it works then.

Thanks. I use this. It claims that I donโ€™t have the necessary requirements even tho I specifically download them from their own site. Help.

OpenRGB has a Discord server. Have you tried that? What kb model do you have?

[โ€“] DicksAndPizza@lemm.ee 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

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.
