Why Use Linux?

  RGB Driver for Linux

  

You can control corsair keyboard rgb with https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next. Works fine on my ancient strafe keyboard and the assorted corsair mice I've used.

  i3-compatible Wayland compositor

  

Here's another big one. I have an inflammatory condition that occasionally makes using a mouse painful and a trackpad very inaccurate. On a Mac, I'm just screwed. On Windows, I'm more screwed than I used to be (through XP, Windows was completely navigable via the keyboard, as was Office). On BSD or Linux, I can replace the GUI with programs like Sway or i3, which not only makes the UI more keyboard-friendly, but also means I literally never have two windows getting in each other's way.

Sometimes the Linux host just won't get along with a Windows guest no matter what you do, and your only hope to fix the problem is to wait for someone to fix it in the future. The stack simply that terrible.
