MS word, Telegram, Notepad++.

Exactly that. It acts like the hand tool in a pdf reader, mouse has to keep moving.

The Firefox one is enabled already. I don’t do Chrome(ium) unless I absolutely have no choice.

… But yeah I’d like to enable it for other applications. Dunno if it is possible though.

I actually have one of those Logi mice with unlockable scrollwheels

… I only lock it for playing FPSes, to use the wheel to switch weapons. Otherwise it stays unlocked for minimal resistance.

Call it a reverse curb-cut effect, I first discovered it when I was a teenager, and back then I’d sometimes use it out of laziness or because it was quicker (ah how I miss being young and immune to pain)

Then when time happened and I started having arthritis flareups, it was there to help me, and I was like “heck, that’s a neat thing for accessibility”

Eh?

I don’t paste things as often as I scroll. Plus, my brain associates copying and pasting with the keyboard commands, from 20+ years of doing – That.

Edit-to-answer-your-edit: My mouse has 7 buttons, I’m golden.

Not quite what I was hoping for… But it does help.

Having that on Firefox is already quite the game changer. I just had no idea it was there. Thanks.

Nah windows is a landlord.

Plasma all the way bby

Or push it to a file, just in general. That way if something goes tits up you can still check it later.

Which distro

Do you do AI stuff?

I’ve heard NVidia is better for AI

For gaming, you’ll probably not notice a difference. If anything, you’ll be happy due to not having to wrestle NVidia Linux Drivers :P

SuSE Slowroll. Not rolling release. Also not super-conservative like Debian is.

minor spelling mistake

I wouldn’t know, but since OP is having compatibility issues, I’d try to get as close to native as I could. Eliminate the room-for-error. Hence the VM with actual Windows.

They can just delete the lot after they’ve converted their files to an opener format. :P

(these count as piracy, but yes, they work well and are reliable)

I will agree with the people suggesting “VM and a pirated copy”

Just get like office 2010 and windows 7 off of the web, run it in a VM, convert the files, dump it all.

I tried using virt-manager+kvm to try some stuff out the other day but I failed to set-up some crucial things. Probably me being incompetent.

Not like virtualization is a big part of my life anyway. I just wanted to try some other distros and such without rebooting.

If I were to get serious about virtualization I’d need to build a new PC with a second GPU. Then I could stop dual-booting and do everything with VMs. But it’d only be worth it to get serious about learning how to virtualize stuff if I were to do that.

Idk, exFAT is meant to be compatible with more stuff than NTFS. If I ever decide to hook this HDD up to a console or smartTV to play the videos I have on it, it is guaranteed to work.
