  • Modern HID drivers are very generalized and abstracted away from the hardware pretty much anymore in Windows and Linux. Aside from specific button customizations (pretty much all done in companion app software, not the driver anymore), you shouldn’t see any issues. The DPI switching should be done on device, but maybe ask the manufacturer before you buy to be sure. Since you don’t care about RGB control, I don’t forsee you having any issues.






  • Just figure out what you want to do. Its not like Windows where you need to run scrub scripts, or turn specific things on or off. It’s very subjective.

    Examples:

    • are you in a laptop? You want specific tools for battery and performance tuning.
    • are you gaming?
    • are you working audio or video?

    Just edit your comment and throw a few things out that you’d like to do, and you’ll get a much more complete list of suggestions and tips.


  • Okay, that’s more direct. I would assume all packages have static paths that aren’t able to be changed through the GUI. I would read their docs and find out about that specific angle to try and sort it out. Also, symlinks are a thing, but you may create race conditions that particular OS may not expect if your mount timing is not absolutely bulletproof and perfect every single boot.
