  • polychromatic

  • - RGB on Linux? Hell yeah, you're lucky. OpenRazer as the backend & Polychromatic as the frontend is the way to go! I have no clue about macros on Linux, though. (AFAIK, Logitech doesn't even have a frontend yet)

  • The only incompatible that still happens is for games that use specifically anticheats. For instance, battlefield online is not good on Linux, but League of Legends is working good. However, Steam is developing a new anticheat for Linux which will be a totally game changing. So, things will be even better by the end of the year. So, if you play any online game which has a anticheat, you should look up if it is compatible with Linux OS first. Check on lutris
