  • libratbag

    A DBus daemon to configure input devices, mainly high-end and gaming mice

  • - for mice you can try https://github.com/libratbag/libratbag . But i just programmed my g700, g604 and now Roccat XP once in windows (on board memory mode) and then i just dont bother anymore.

  • piper

    GTK application to configure gaming devices

  • Piper might work given that your mouse is supported.

  • This is kinda a self promotion but for the brightness issue https://gitlab.com/ddcci-driver-linux/ddcci-driver-linux may fix it. Or https://gitlab.com/YusufKhanAbdulHalim/ddcci-driver-linux/-/tree/master may fix it(if the first one doesnt work use the second one).

  • komorebi

    A tiling window manager for Windows 🍉

  • Last one I had a look at was this, it did show promise, but I haven't tested it fully yet. bug.n is not at all close to what I want for example.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • nix-gaming

    Gaming on Nix

  • I don't really play that much anymore nowadays, but I have the game installed from this Nix channel. If you know Nix or feel like figuring out how to it installed on your system (you can install Nix on any distro), you can try installing it from there :)

  • osu-wine

  • It hasn't been updated in 2 years now, but osu-wine, by diamondburned/forefront, is the one I have used when I've played osu.
