This is a major part of why I switched to Linux! Microsoft is literally killing the desktop by turning Windows into a tablet OS! There are still many great DEs on Linux that are actually DEs!

The only reason I use Windows is the gamezz. Work is macbook, but I hate macOS settings and everything as well. Can't easily configure mouse acceleration or disable it is crazy to me. On personal I use WSL for dev, but maybe I should just dualboot Linux.

    Yes, this is the method that I have been always using. But I have had many cases where it seems to reset or bug out in some other way, and the Logitech MX Master 3S does still does not work well. There's definitely something weird about movement, it doesn't feel linear and accurate even after running this command. The mouse feels perfect on Windows/Linux, but it's off in my Macbook. Sometimes also loses bluetooth connectivity, where it kind of starts to skip and/or stops working completely. And I have to take the bluetooth usb, put it back in for it to work normally again. Maybe I should try another mouse, if you have any recommendations for a similar, ergonomic wireless one. Definitely don't want the magic mouse. Ergonomically I think the Logitech one is perfect for me.

      I do own a device I'm very fond of, Ploopy Mouse, but it's not likely to match your criteria. It's quite big, 3D-printed, open source, wired, and runs QMK. Loads of character :) https://ploopy.co/mouse/ https://ploopy.co/mouse/

        Well, the sales video on the page starts immediately with a person ditching the MX Master mouse, so I do feel targeted, I will continue with the video.
