I'm so glad linux usually contains reverse engineered drivers that are open source so everything just works out of the box with logitech.

- OJFord 7y agoIt really is quite incredible the unrewarded, often thankless (except that which we're doing now) effort that must go into that. I had an issue recently with missing drivers for a network card (my fault, I deleted the kernel modules, it had been and now is again working), and it just made me think exactly what you're saying, how glad I am that someone's provided this.
- WhiteAussie 7y agoI recently made the switch to Linux and I wouldn't quite agree with this. The bare minimum works, and I'm very grateful to the people volunteering to achieve that much, however my productivity has taken a big hit with no official Linux support from Logitech or Razer. I had become very dependent on my mouse automatically changing profile depending on the process that has focus in Windows. In Linux, there is zero official or community support for that. I've had to shoehorn several profiles into one and use manual switching which is awful - first world problem, I know. I'd warn people to expect a bad time on Linux with their peripherals, and I'd urge these vendors to pull their finger out and support Linux.
