The recent news that SteamOS may soon be shipped with third-party devices could be particularly important for Linux gaming on desktops.

Even gamers nexus’ Steve today said that they’re about to start doing Linux games performance testing soon. It’s happening, y’all, the year of the Linux desktop is upon us. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Edit: just wanted to clarify that Steve from GN didn’t precisely say they’re starting to test soon, he said they will start WHEN the steam OS releases and is adopted. Sorry about that.

    Whelp I tried to switch several years ago to PopOS! as daily driver. Everything was fine and dandy until I tried to use the side buttons of my Razer mouse or my Keychron M3. Short story: not plug-and-play-able. This is a non negotiable feature for me. Maybe I’ll find some motivation between the years to tinker again…

      This is not a Linux issue, I’m sure you know that. It’s the manufacturer who doesn’t want to support Linux. Also, many things work now. I have a reddragon mouse and all of the side buttons on it work just fine. As for keychron, I have the V6 and V5 and I use VIA to program the buttons and everything else on it and it works with 0 issues. Maybe give that a shot?
