deadbeef VS Solaar

this was my personal 'want' from deadbeef that felt a little awkward https://github.com/DeaDBeeF-Player/deadbeef/issues/2365 (recently added and recently played playlists). it may be doable with plugins or some shell scripting perhaps

I know not everyone is into this hobby. However, if you want to play dsf files, this article covers lots of Linux Players (and devices that use Linux). MPD (Media Player Daemon) seems to be a popular option for most of the devices and distributions mentioned in the article. However, if you want to try a player that does not require you to install various packages with root access, Deadbeef seems to work properly.

Deadbeef, maybe? This one is the most similar to foobar2k from what I tried (yeah I miss it too).

Deadbeef is the most feature rich player on Linux that doesn't look like an eyesore, imo.

DeaDBeeF is the closest.

Nah. They were removed and are no longer found in the repository's locale directory.

DeadBeef - Only possible with a plugin that is not obvious to a new user and easily misable

If it's got the Logitech unifying receiver, it won't work outta the box. You gotta download Solaar

- Solaar: Device manager for Logitech devices (connected via Unifying, Bolt, Lightspeed or Nano receivers + some connected via USB cable / Bluetooth)

Depending on your mouse, Solaar could do the job. I use it in combination to trigger Fly-Pie.

Now moving on to the Linux part. Do you use gnome/kde? Or some tiling DE? I use Solaar and it's lovely! M720 has a perfectly placed gestures button. I use it to move my windows to left/right monitors and switch between upper/lower desktop spaces. The gesture button works flawlessly when you set up solaar correctly.

I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why this isn't working as I expect. I'm trying to make a user service to run solaar so that my logitech mouse's scroll wheel behaves like I want without having to open the app manually. The software itself provides a .desktop file for autostart, and I used this as a basis.

I've used Solaar for my MX Master 3, works great. https://pwr-solaar.github.io/Solaar/

We don't officially support wireless keyboards or mice for infosec, environmental, and supportability reasons. But if we had to, the established Logitech Unifying and newer Logitech Bolt ecosystem allow for ready re-pairing of dongles with peripherals. Logitech Unifying is fully functional under Linux with solaar from your distro's repos. You have to be astute when buying, to always look for a picture of the dongle with the orange Unifying logo or the safety-yellow Bolt logo, however. If the logo isn't on the packaging or in the promo picture, I can assure you that you will not get a Unifying or Bolt dongle.

Have you tried Solaar?
