@slrpnk.netNewbie here. First of all, I successfully took ownership of a folder using the command line and I am proud of that. Even though it ended up being irrelevant for the problem in the end, it was still satisfying to be able to figure it out finally. Using the command line makes me feel like I'm doing cool stuff B)
So, I was doing some digging, trying to get my mouse to work properly, and I ended up finding out some things. Hopefully this saves somebody some time/frustration in the future.
-Logitech's software doesn't work in Linux (of course)
-Piper doesn't work for this model (g502x PLUS) yet.
Bummer.
There is a workaround, however. This model actually includes on-board memory! Sweet, my money was not wasted after all!
So, I just went back to windows (gross) and set up the profile I had been using previously. (sidenote, who TF uses forward and back for the side buttons? It obviously should be ctrl and shift for the defaults, respectively...) When I got back on my new setup, it was a success!!! It works perfectly well, and no issues so far.
Now, for the main question, is there any easy way to set this up from Linux by using a windows virtual machine or something similar?
Thanks for reading.
Hey just wanted to ask for some recommendations on tethering my phone to my laptop. Would be nice to have options to hide tether usage if possible. Thanks
I'm currently on an MSI GF65 Thin 9SEXR. It has a 9th gen core i5, 8GB RAM, and a geforce rtx2060 graphics card. While it's been a great daily driver for several years now, it's definitely starting to show it's age with newer games and such.
I've currently got my eyes on the ASUS TUF series of laptops, because they seem like pretty decent quality. The chassis design seems more intuitive with where the ports are located, and other small details that make ease of use a priority. I like that it has a numberpad as well, and I'd consider this one of my necessities going forward.
My main uses will be moderate gaming, 3D design, and general browsing/productivity. I'd also like to dump windows for Linux as well, but I'm not entirely sure that I'm ready to make that jump yet. I've got very minimal experience with alternative operating systems to windows.
I don't know much about AMD's hardware, so I'm not sure how the designations compare to what I currently have. If anyone could give me an easy rundown to get me up to date I'd appreciate it too.
What's a good way to respond to sms messages on my phone, through my desktop pc? I do not have wifi, just my phone's usb/tethering connection.

My options for internet connectivity are very limited. I was wondering if I could go to a library or coffee shop or wherever has a good connection and do all my downloading remotely, or if I will run into problems/restrictions.
I'm thinking they may not allow VPN's or something like that?
Hey, I'm interested in tips/recommendations for improving my shopping experience when going into stores that have loud music playing. I don't want to be unaware of my surroundings by not being able to hear at all, but the obnoxious levels to which many stores blast their (objectionably atrocious) music (as well as other loud/constant noise that is happening) is almost unbearable to me and really makes me not be able to think straight when I'm in the store. I've got my own task list and agenda, and when I can't think about things clearly it really slows down my whole process.
I'm wondering if any of those decibel reducer ear plugs would be a viable option? I feel like I've seen those recommended a few times.
I've experimented by wearing noise cancelling earbuds before, which kind of worked, but this presented some level of unawareness that I didn't like and also seems kind of rude in a way? There's got to be a better solution.
Thanks for reading.
I was pretty hyped for the new prince of persia game (the lost crown), but come to find out it's only available on ubisoft's proprietary launcher or epic games. Nope, and nope.
I just want to have it available on my usual storefront, Steam, but it's been decidedly omitted. As a long time fan of the old games, this kind of hurts. Especially since many of the others -are- available on Steam.
I wonder if/when it will come out for Steam. These platform exclusivity deals need to die.
Edit: It's also available on several consoles, my post was just from a pc gamer's perspective.
