doesn't come with a base linux install

>>108883879
yes it does lol
install Linux Mint XFCE or some shit and there it is. I think every noob distro has the option to choose XFCE as the default desktop environment

>>108883879
neither do all the drivers and updates you currently have installed

>>108883879
no such thing as a "linux base install."

Every desktop distro I've ever used had some way to configure the mouse.

Bonus: It's the first thing you see on mouse settings, unlike Windows where you get a barebones menu in settings, and the actual menu in your picrel hidden in an extra menu option

>>108883711
>linux doesn't offer
windows 11 has THREE different menus for configuring mouse speed.
NONE of them allow changing touchpad drag scroll speed
windows update changes the settings at will
the windows 11 accel is much lower than w7
windows supports accel curves but doesn't expose an interface for adjusting it outside of registry tweaks

windows has fucking ZERO to brag about pointer settings UI

>>108883879
Define "base". A truly "base" install doesn't have it, but it also has no GUI so it'd be retarded to complain about it, but even the minimal install for all major DEs have a settings program that has an option for it

>>108883711
I was looking at the X11 settings for that shit literally last week.

Nothing comes with base Linux because Linux is a kernel. It doesn't even include a shell, an init, a gui, etc

spyware and drm and hiding source code are major permanent debuffs to quality of life on windows.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Unless it's more beneficial for an online argument to claim Android = Linux, then the definition is any OS based on the Linux kernel.

KDE stands for Kool Desktop Environment.

even by this definiton OP gets BTFO, because most such systems can do what OP claims they cant.

OP only works if you define "Linux" as "RedHat corpo Gnome machines".

Ok anons, rather than engaging with obvious bait, lets actually talk about features we WOULD like to see added to linux. I will start: even if its fucking systemd that does it, I would like to see a hardware manager gui similar in features to the windows one. For example I have bluetooth audio technica headphones that for whatever fucking reason also have hands free audio. So 1 pair of headphones has 2 completely seperate audio outputs, one of which is 100x worse in quality. In windows, I can just go to device manager and disable the handsfree audio at an OS level so that no application ever switches to it. On linux... I have yet to find a solution nearly as elegant. Maybe there is one, if anyone knows of a way to do this I would be forever grateful.

>>108889540
I think it's just someone who is thinking of using Linux, downloaded Ubuntu GNOME and was like "this shit sucks" without understanding the modularity of Linux and how many distros and desktop environments there are.
I know because I used to be like that.

Yes it does, and unlike in Windows in Linux you can configure these settings per-device.
Do you want to know what else Windows still lacks?
You can't control your monitor brightness over DDC/CI like you can in KDE.
You can't configure your laptop to go to sleep when you close the lid *unless* it's connected to an external monitor.
You can't be sure that when you close your laptop and put it in your backpack it will have battery left when you open it again, because Windows literally doesn't give a shit and will wake your computer up and restart it when it wants to.
Windows is cringe.

>>108883711
is this a bait thread? or you're just retarded?

>>108889567
to show you guys how ridiculous the solution on linux was, I made a config file for wireplumber here
~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/51-disable-bluetooth-headset-profiles.conf

with the contents of this
monitor.bluez.properties = {
bluez5.roles = [ a2dp_sink a2dp_source bap_sink bap_source ]
bluez5.hfphsp-backend = "none"
}

And like, that does work, that DOES do what I wanted, but I had to scour the internet for the syntax and proper config location and everything for something that should just be options for the user. Does no one else see how frustrating this is?

Works for me with the default pulse mixer widget. I use pipewire rather than pulse though.
