No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

100%.
Logitech mice work fine out of the box as a generic mouse. You only need third party software if you want to mess around with the Logitech special-sauce stuff.
Neither Windows or Mac have 'support' for that either, until you install Logitech's software. Of course, Logitech as a company don't provide any software for Linux.
So if anything, it's not that "Linux doesn't support Logitech" it's that Logitech doesn't Support Linux.
While you are correct, you're also missing the point. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. The end user doesn't care whose "fault" it is. They only care that they have a tool in front of them that does not meet their needs. If the end user needs a mouse with a billion macro buttons, then an OS that does not support a mouse with a billion macro buttons will not work for them. If you want that user to be a happy Linux user, then you'd better make that mouse work.
Half the people in this thread can't see that most people, no I don't mean most people on Lemmy, just most people period, want their computer to be a tool, a means to an end. They want it to get out of the way and enable them to crunch spreadsheet numbers or play video games or paint digital art or process words. If you're an able-bodied software developer, desktop Linux is an excellent tool. If you're an able-bodied anything else and have found that Linux works for you, good on you, but you're a minority. If you're a disabled anything else and have found that Linux works for you, please tell me how because I would love nothing more than to leave Windows and go somewhere that lets my personal computer be my personal computer.
