I’ve used a couple different distros in my time on Linux (Debian, fedora, arch, artix, gentoo) and I could never tell the difference between the performance.

Yeah it looks fun

Jontique OP , in [Wayland] How to completely disable mouse acceleration?

UPDATE: I am an idiot.

I was setting the acceleration method for the wrong device all the time. I didn’t realize to select the actual mouse from the dropdown in KDE mouse settings until I plugged in my old mouse in.

Anyway that’s the acceleration solved. Also as qwesx pointed out, there is some issue with my Logitech Pro X Superlight. The mouse feels more sluggish when using the wireless dongle compared to it being wired. Must be the wrong polling rate or something?

You have to set the profile for both wired and wireless mode since they’re different USB IDs. Dealt with the same thing on the same mouse. Same thing with Solaar if you use it to set the polling rate.

Little something from me: I’m using Arch Linux (linux-zen) with KDE and AMD GPU and for now it’s the best experience i had with linux distributions. Everything works so good, with obviously some configurations and etc. Already played Minecraft or Red Dead Redemption 2 with no problems and also i felt in love with pacman.

I was using Manjaro, Ubuntu, Mint but finally ended up on Arch. Maybe i will give a shot to Fedora or openSUSE in a future :D

If you have mouse acceleration on KDE when selecting the "flat" profile then

  • you're accidentally running Plasma as an X11 session and suffer from a libinput issue, or
  • your mouse has an internal acceleration profile that can be disabled using the manufacturer's Windows-only software (or some enthusiast project on Github), Logitech mice often have this feature

“feature”

giacomo ,

Be weary of an enthusiasts projects - great in theory but I’ve almost bricked a steelseries mouse this way.

I’d recommend a Windows VM and then pass the USB to the VM so you can adjust whatever settings in their dumb windows-only software.

baduhai , in [Wayland] How to completely disable mouse acceleration?

Interesting, you may have some confliting configurations, because I use Plasma wayland and I have no mouse acceleration when set to flat.

Jontique OP ,

Huh, it could be that I need a fresh install. I will try adding KDE Neon or something on my Ventoy and post an update. Thanks!

I am going to finish the first fallout tommorow, even though I missed “the best dialogue in the entire game” according to someone on NMA.

I think if you're coming from Windows, the closest thing to a Windows experience imo is Ubuntu. You can opt in to pre-release updates which is good for gaming as others have said. Also, basically everything can be done via GUI in Ubuntu while you learn to get comfortable with the terminal.

potatobro , in Xbox controller not working in Undertale

I believe in order to use a controller for Undertale you have to map keyboard buttons to the controller using steam.

If that’s the case I’ll probably just use a keyboard, I was under the impression the analog sticks were helpful for some of the boss fights but if they’re just mapped to keys then I won’t have analog control anyway

Nobara OS or Linux Mint if you’re converting from Windows. Flip a coin to pick one.
