I would like to suggest my wooting keyboard. It is not quiet but i think their switches should qualify as linear. Not sure about the layout but I have the german layout so that might be a "yes"? I have the 100% variant. Sorry, i am not very deep into keyboards.
Their config tool is basically a website, so as long as you have a browser with webusb support on a system it works. Had some problems with the udev rules (most likely a "me" problem), so I used the desktop version instead.
Bonus you get is that the switches are an analog input. So you can change mode to analog and have like "slow walking" in games. Though, I have not tested that yet.
BUT it is hella expensive.
I also have cheap paddles (i think that that is the right word?) off amazon i use often. But the "support" is basically that the config is saved on the device so you config it once in wndows and that was it. I just bound it to random keys once and assign them in games. Would need to dig up what the paddles are called though.
As I said in another thread, I do not check compatibility anymore beforehand. I install and select the newest glorious eggroll proton in steam and it works. Granted, I play only indie games, so if you play competitive with anticheat I would stay on windows to be safe and avoid the hassle or suspended account.
In regards to performance I don't know if I am missing out.
Glad that you might find some games interesting! The comment chains on lemmy are not working too great for me either. In the web UI of programming.dev and the liftoff app your comment in my notifications is fully interactable and therefore I am able to vote or reply. But if I remember correctly, the web UI is fully broken and shows my reply instead of your comment in my notifications if I reply. The context stuff is also interesting. On the web UI the context is not complete and I have no idea how it chooses what it shows. In the liftoff app it shows the context but a lot more than what I personally would call "context" (the complete tree of the root comment that was replied to). AND I am sorry, I missed your notification. The notifications in the liftoff app are so subtle that I basically have to check manually if I have any. And I don't check because I don't expect any.
Addendum: for Guild Wars 2 I have a shitty "guide" if you need one: https://gist.github.com/Nithanim/443362f7b76d9a8d18abea2cb0daa00e
I don't because every time I fall in a weird pitfall where like /tmp is different or samba shares can't be accessed. Or the UI is blindingly white instead of dark like the rest of the system. Though, I can't remember on which one I had problems (probably both), it was some time ago and just gave up on them.
No problem! I hope you like some of them :)
List of the best:
- against the storm
- deep rock galctic
- astroneer
- dyson sphere program
- escape simulator
- factorio (native linux)
- hardspace shipbreaker
- outer wilds
- timberborn
- valheim (native linux)
- vampire surviors
- talos principle
- war for the overworld
Maybe:
- monster sanctuary
- grow home/up (ubisoft development but without the bullshit what you normally get)
- len's island
- superliminal
- wreckfest
- guild wars 2 (not indie and not non-AAA but still good; but you have to tweak a lot for performant gameplay)
Thats a quick list that i got at a glance from steam. It is a collection of a lot of very different genres, so there should be at least something in there for everyone.
Some of them I have not played in years and not sure about their current state but i am sure that they only became better.
If the game is on steam it is pretty easy. I just install the newest custom proton from glorious eggroll. And before i start a game for the first time is select this instead of the default proton. Then it just works generally. I don't check protondb anymore, only in case of problems. I can't even recall a game that doesn't work currently. Granted, i don't play AAA, only indie games.
On one hand it's great that it works that way. On the other hand, I use youtube only sometimes on my tablet so I would like to have my subscriptions carried over. Can't have it all I guess.
