As if it wasn’t bad enough that they want me to use a random internet service to add a keyboard to a usb wifi receiver, they have the balls to put this for Firefox users. I clicked out of pure curiosity, as I’m not even remotely interested in involving a corporate internet service in getting my keyboard connected to my computer. This is the message you get now on Logi Options software if you have a Unifying Receiver: This is the message you get now on Logi Options software if you have a Unifying Receiver

EDIT: some people on the thread have brought up that the error message being displayed for Firefox users is due to the WebUSB API not being implemented by Firefox due to security concerns. This still does not justify having to use a web app to plug peripherals to a PC.

    Oh for fucks sake. It’s getting to the point where this needs legislative intervention to put an end to this tomfuckery.

    Every day, I’m inching closer and closer to pulling the trigger on moving to Linux once and for all.

      I switched fairly recently and it’s definitely not perfect. Some stuff is better, some worse. The big thing for me is: Linux on desktop is getting better and better all the time. Windows on the other hand? Well, just ask any windows user. Most of them seem to want to just go back to XP.

      That’s how I felt 1.5+ years ago, and while not everything is perfect (I’m planning on getting a small windows drive for VR soon) most of it makes me wonder how I put up with windows getting steadily worse for so long

      Just did it, building my Arch now. Working on ricing, and I got GPU passthrough setup for a Windows VM for when I need it

      I’ve been using Linux more at work, and holy crap is it quick and smooth to install something like Linux Mint now. It’s just as smooth once you start using it too.

      I’ve been using Fedora too, and it’s all good, but Linux Mint really surprised me.

        Mainly a couple of work programs I depend on and it never gets multi monitors right on my laptop. Also, I have to keep myself familiar with Windows to support my customers.

      Yeah, it’s doable nowadays. There are many guides that can help you pick a distro and then install what you need. If you’re a beginner, usually Linux Mint is the one to go for, unless you have extremely recent hardware
