    That’s my pet hate with everything.

    A mouse doesn’t need an account. Just let me install the shit and configure it you fucks.

      Linux has built in drivers for most shit with no account necessary. Logitech (for example) has a third party app called Solaar that does everything Logitechs own crappy mouse/keyboard software does.

      Getting away from the endless hassle of popups and drivers was my biggest motivation for switching to Linix way back in 2008.

          You just connect them as everything Bluetooth in Linux and they work

          Then I though it would be nice to see battery levels and stuff, and installed Linux solar and now I have dumb pop ups every once in a while.

            Sure, but it’s not exactly easy to remap all the extra non-standard buttons on my g602 & g604
