Here's the original conversation if anyone is interested. Reading all the "that is just what men do" comments makes me wanna barf.

I guess I should restate, I more so just meant I don't mind it being wired I actually just meant external. I'll edit my post but I'll have to check out the ploopy trackpad since you've praised it so much!

**edit: I said wireless when I was actually just thinking external my b

I use Gnome as my main DE and I really like the touch gestures for my workflow, having a wireless trackpad would be really nice.

I've done some research before and seen that most wireless trackpads seem to work just fine with Linux, like the apple magic trackpad and an older out of production one from Logitech. But it doesn't seem that wireless trackpads are super common so I wanted to ask if there were any others anyone could suggest?

I also had the thought that maybe I could make my own by buying a spare trackpad module from Framework but I don't know how feasible that would actually be. I've never done anything like that but it seems like it could hypothetically be possible.

I just think hate is generally an unproductive feeling regardless of who it's towards. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to claim that I'm perfect and never find myself feeling it, I just try to avoid it.

Read "ad software" and was beyond terrified for a moment

 

Basically just the title. Steam input is really fantastic for mapping controllers and I use it all the time, but for non steam games or other use cases I was wondering if there's another software that can do the same thing? I know I can still use steam for this and I do, it works great as well, I just like using open source!

 

What's a song that you think you could show somebody that's never heard of hip hop to explain what the genre is? I think my pick is Mathematics by Mos Def

The testing that I've done was just with the built in keyboard and a mouse, everything through steam. I'll take a look at the input settings and see if that helps, thanks

I didn't think to try the default Fedora kernel, but I'll give that a go and come back with good news hopefully. And no I did not install TLP

 

Hello all. I've recently installed Fedora 42 on my laptop, it's a microsoft surface laptop studio so it's running with the custom surface kernel. The feature matrix on their github page says that everything should be supported for my laptop and that's pretty much been my experience so far but I've been having issues when testing out games.

The laptop has a 3050TI and is more than capable of running most of the games that I usually play on windows, and I've almost gotten it working on Fedora. They'll launch and run just fine, everything even looks pretty decent graphically, but it just has really bad stuttery input lag, even in more lightweight games that I've tested such as balatro and stardew valley.

I'm not sure what would be causing this, as far as I'm aware I'm running the right gpu driver, I've double checked that they're using the dedicated gpu rather than the integrated one with nvidia-smi, but honestly that's about the extent of my knowledge. Does anyone have any thoughts / suggestions? It would be much appreciated.

 

I've been using the software Aurora to build character's for a while and I love it, but it's sadly no longer maintained and doesn't have an official linux build. I've tried getting it to run with bottles, wine, proton etc. Are there any good character builders that natively support Linux?
