rivalcfg VS wslg

I assume you'd turn the LEDs off if you were using Windows using Steelseries' own software. If you use Linux you can turn it off with rivalcfg if your model is supported (https://flozz.github.io/rivalcfg/).

In that line, rivalcfg works wonders for steelseries mice (can be used on windows as well), openrazer for Razer peripherals, and piper (Gui frontend for libratbag) for Logitech and some other brand mice.

Would this github repo be any help?

You might want to give rivalcfg a look. It only handles mice but check if your model is supported. If not, you can contribute by providing some info about your mouse and it could be added in a future version.

I'm also using a custom configuration tool I found for steelseries mice in case that matters

Why would these projects exist: https://openrazer.github.io/ https://github.com/flozz/rivalcfg https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl https://openrgb.org/

pkgfile --update sudo pacman -S python-pip git clone https://github.com/flozz/rivalcfg.git cd rivalcfg sudo pacman -S python3 sudo pip install . sudo rivalcfg --update-udev sudo rivalcfg -s 800

WSLg(Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI) uses RDP and FreeRDP to work: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hopeful the experience is better than last time I tried Hyper-V enhanced linux experience. I imagine this use case is getting FreeRDP way more attention.

For years I've developed in a Linux VM on a Windows host via VirtualBox. The typing lag on this, particularly in IDEs like VSCode and Rider, finally got to me. So, I moved over to WSL and have to say; the experience is amazing.

This is running in WSL?

Microsoft has some wayland stuff already for WSL, though I think internally there's RDP involved: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

That said. Graphical apps will just run on WSL without needing to install anything. Check: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

What are you talking about? Its free forever https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Actually, you can https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

See: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/563 and other similar issues on wslg GitHub.

Apparently, WSLg does away with the need for a separate X server, making things "easy" to use:

There's two completely different aspects to your question. 1) How to manage libraries in c++ without dying from cringe? I'd suggest you use cmake as the build system and grab library sources directly from GitHub using this tool: https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake 2) How to get apps that run under WSL to display windows-native windows? I'm not sure, but it's probably this: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Here’s a thread about it. You can get into the underlying RDP session instead of just apps launching. https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/1019
