Oh you misunderstand, the app is for macros, rgb, that stuff. Its a glorious keyboard (the brand), I have to launch into windows if I want to change those things, which is mostly annoying.
All my computer parts and accessories were purchased before I got into linux, so once I upgrade that all will be purchased with Linux friendly hardware in mind.
I used to be heavy into competitive shooters, so thats where my gaming friend base lies, makes it hard to not have the biggest shooters when they are out. I am happy with Arc Raiders though, works flawlessly on linux, even runs on steam deck if your okay with potato graphics.
Yep, the hardware planning all makes a big difference! If you’re looking for Linux-friendly RGB keyboard options I’ve been very happy with Keychron.
I think the only things I’ve “needed” windows for in the last couple years were firmware updates for an Xbox controller and (surprisingly) firmware upgrades for a Steam VR headset and/or base station.
Glad that you are enjoying ARC, I’ve heard only good things about it.
I have an older rift cv1, that thing just doesn’t work on linux sadly. I forgot about Xbox controller firmware updates…
But yeah thanks, Arc is fun. Runs well too which is a rarity among modern games. Outside shooters Im a huge fan of space games: Stellaris, star citizen, starborn 2, space engineers. I need to see if I can’t find some groups for those.
KSA is supposed to be a spiritual successsor to KSP1. I’ve heard good things but it’s not out yet so hard to say if the reality will live up to it.
Reentry: very different. Very focused on the historical missions: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo. Very simulationist, going for realistic operations. Does a great job of showing just how complicated and manual everything was, how “disconnected” the procedures feel from direct flight, to me anyway. There’s no aspect of building ships at all. But there’s a good bit of potential there too, we’ll see where it goes. For now it’s an amazing peek into history.

Nice. I’m into the space games as well. Lots of hours in Space Engineers and Stellaris. (And Tabletop Simulator playing High Frontier 4.)
Been having (intimidating) fun with Re[-e]ntry and I’m looking forward to Kitten Space Agency.
Reentry looks amazing, thanks for putting that on my radar. Does it feel like Kerbal 1?
