For openrazer to function easily, you need additional software. I’ve used Polychromatic.

I am a high DPI user. Is it possible to adjust the Pointer Speed in mouse settings to between first and second level? Or even by command, is that possible?

Hardware Brand
I've tried multiple different brands of keyboards and mice and all of them worked well with Linux, often even if Linux wasn't advertised on the box (I wouldn't bet on that though). More well known brands have better support e.g. Razer has OpenRazer and Polychromatic

Razer blackwidow keyboard backlights
I re-installed open-razer on Ubuntu and also installed Polychromatic.
- OpenRazer/Polychromatic need to be restarted after boot/reboot to work after last Fedora 36 update

While not everyone likes Razer, we all have the F key
The irony is that razer has some of the best software as long as you are not using windows. The community maintained openrazer drivers on Linux work great. https://polychromatic.app/
- Is there any software like this for Windows? Is there anyway to run it on Windows?

Just switched from windows to Ubuntu
If you have multi-button mouse, I recommend Piper or input-remapper. Again, I have had issues using them on Wayland, but they are otherwise pretty good softwares. There is also RazerGenie / RazerCommander if you use their stuff.
