openrazer VS howdy

So if a very skilled developer reverse engineer a driver for some brands (OpenRazer as an example), I feel better about it especially if it's open source.

Why are you trying to run a setup.exe? For linux there's Open Razer

What a interesting device. As I searching I found mousepad has different device id than mouse itself. this driver may solve your problems. If problem continues could you please share system info with upload-system-info from terminal and sudo lspci -v

Yeah I would take piper over any of that bloated peripheral software anyway, gets the job done. There's also other community projects like OpenRazer. For a keyboard I grabbed a System76 Launch, it's a bit pricey but it's super nice and fully customizable via an appimage.

Wouldn't it be easier to install Openrazer? https://github.com/openrazer/openrazer

you can even use facial recognition with IR webcam

I just bought a go 2 (not laptop go) this weekend and installed fedora 37 on it. Almost everything worked without the surface kernel except the camera requires v4l2loopback kernel drivers to create a gstreamer device for apps that don’t support libcamera. There were only old versions available in copr but no surface kernel headers available so I couldn’t build the kernel modules. I switched to ubuntu 22.10 and got similar hardware support but more available packages. I’m still trying to figure out how to get the IR sensors to work so I can use howdy for login/sudo. https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy

First, you'll need to install Howdy.

I've tried using Howdy, but that doesn't seem to work. It's probably because of this issue

Just like with digicams, it is not just about the sensor, but also the image processing itself. Should we omit the IR sensor to replace it with a better firmware-based noise-reduction system? But what about "Howdy" / "Hello" users, if we go this route?
