  • I have the same, an old arctis 7, and it’s plug-and-play on Linux mint. It’s wireless with a USB-c dongle, but 3.5mm jack is an option.

    Once upon a time, I was worried I had to buy another headphones, but I used an aux cord to plug it into a headphone-amp for my electric guitar, and it just works. It turns on & off automatically with the aux cord. I suspect it has to be charged to still work, but I haven’t tested that.








  • It counts the keyboard taps & cursor clicks (optional) that you make, and your desktop pet cat taps whenever you type/click. As a reward for your tippity tappity productivity, you periodically get random cat costumes and skins. You can also buy/sell the costumes & reskins on the steam community marketplace.

    It doesn’t work on Linux for me (mint btw), but I use it on my school laptop

    I’m not sure how segregation/listening of inputs works between software in Linux, but if there’s a way around it to get bongo cat to work… 👉👈




  • Tl;dr, bc linux is based

    I got a steam deck when it came out. The desktop side was really cool, and all my games ran great on it.

    Soon after, I finally bought my (former) dream pc case & decided with my next pc build I wanted linux because… it felt like the cool thing to do. With the steam deck, linux seemed just cool-new and easy to use. I couldn’t imagine not being able to solve any problems on a well-established distro with just patience and google-fu.

    So I had mint and two flavors of fedora on flash drives and couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to enlarge my cursor on either fedora version. On mint cinnamon, I found the setting right away. I’ve been on mint since and haven’t looked back.

    Pretty rarely, I get the question, why tf are you using linux? My answer is pretty much “cause I think it’s based? Plus I get to learn more about computers along the way anytime something doesn’t work.”
