I used to use linux decades ago, then stopped for multiple reasons. Now, with win 10 eol fast approaching, I have installed Kubuntu 24.04.2 mainly for VR gaming but other gaming and normal pc use as well. I have 2 devices I would like to replace for ones with full linux support(~~drivers~~ software), unless there are ~~drivers~~ software that are easy to install not requiring compilation from source. The devices are a Microsoft Intellipoint Trackball, basically a thumb driven trackball with at least as many buttons (more is better) as the image shows.
The second device is a Logitec G13
I use this for most of my flat games, and to control my video player. Suggestions for similar hardware or easy fully functional drivers would be appreciated. ie; the g13 has game profiles, stopwatch, clock, system monitor, and a few things I don't use, the trackball has all 7 buttons programmable to anything on the kb and then some.
Thanks, I finally got it to compile. Well not the linked one, wouldn't compile for me, nor would the rewritten one in python that says it is a gui, but the one he branched off did AND although not as easy as windows, I can set and change button configs, manually in a file :), doing pretty much everything action-wise I did on windows EVEN PAUSE/PLAY videos from players and the web. Now on to my next headache, hehe, finding a voice meter replacement
