From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi Does any of you use this mouse on their Linux machine. Apparently its pretty good mouse other than the fact that software is atrocius and you cant change RGB howewer you want or configure dps and deafult rgb setting apparently suck. Buuut obviusly i wont be using windows software on linux but probably piper or whatewer else i can find . So my question is does linux fix the flaws of that mice or perhaps quite the opposite ? How do gaming mouses even work on linux in general ?

AFAIK Silver Monkey is rather local brand, created by the owners of x-kom. So the group that uses them will be very, very small. Unless those use driver used in some more popular brand, there's little chance those will be covered by some project that handles configuring mice that aren't configurable via buttons
