I’m in the process of this now. I haven’t used Linux in like 15 years so I’m starting slow with my laptop. My goal is to be free from windows on my desktop and laptop before I have to go to Windows 11. I have to use Windows 11 at work and it’s fucking miserable. I can understand some of the changes from a personal usage standpoint, but from a work related one there are so many features that just make productivity worse. I’ve had to change shit in the registry like 7 times just to get some quality of life features that they changed.
Got a new laptop at work this summer and also got updated from win10 to win11 at the same time. I don’t understand why everything is so much slower on win11 ! Starting the system use to be 30s now it’s 3 minutes. Opening file explorer, slow. Opening a picture, slow. Opening an almost empty Excel sheet, guess it’s time for coffee. Switching desktop views, omg soooo slow!
Well then I guess I’m screwed. My work doesn’t allow us to regedit.
Switched to full Linux after buying a steamdeck and seeing how good stuff runs on Linux, but I only miss controls to edit my mouse setup and can luckily live without it
In case you haven’t stumbled upon Piper, it’s pretty great for the mouses it supports. I’ve had a good experience with the couple Logitech ones I’ve owned.

Thanks! Unfortunately not for my device, but hopefully someone else sees this and now is able to use their mouse proper again!
If you want you could add your device using this guide:
