why? because it's not triggering an obscure anti cheat on a game I've been playing when using wine (performance is still the same tho), everything else is just work no missing dependencies and it's doesn't get in my way like other distros (I tried Arch, Opensuse, Ubuntu, Debian), just to clarify I'm a complete noob when it come to Linux so maybe if I know better I probably make everything works just like Fedora

I can’t imagine not having a plethora of mice and keyboards in PS/2, USB, wireless, and BT varieties. Like an unnecessary amount.

Corded maybe. But most of wireless mouses even today come with little usb dongle and that should work. Only the bluetooth one dosent apparently. Which makes sense. I mean why would it work out of the box with your computer.

Yeah my mainboard is USB c only. I had an old USB A mouse but that doesn't help.

Corded USB-C nice are rare! There’s some cordless though.

Never heard of a mainboard with only USB-C!

Look up the framework laptop - the mainboard is USB c only with modular adapters for other options

Sure, but even folks who hoard stuff might be old enough to have never had one. Even at 32 I've never had one before. My dad might have one somewhere though.

I didn’t say that. I was speaking for myself.

…but yes

many people don't even own a usb mouse.

I consider myself a huge nerd but I would be surprised if I even still have a ps/2 mouse somewhere.

Maybe I’m just old, then. I have every type of tech I would possibly need to troubleshoot any machine I could imagine… thinking about throwing away my parallel cables, I’m like “what if an HP Laserjet Series II needs help?!”
