My work machine is macOS as the company won't let us use Linux. My home machine is Arch Linux (obligatory "BTW") which I migrated to after Ubuntu dropped Unity and started forcing Snaps on everyone.
However, a nice shameless plug for my Terminal file manager: DF-SHOW which is designed to work on all Unix like systems.
As Lemmings was one of my favourite games growing up, that's also gets my vote.
Arch, purely to keep up to date as possible without needing to compile everything. Been working fine for me since 2017
I replaced mine with "sourcing map 2.5mm Ceramic Bearing Balls, ZrO2 Zirconium Oxide Ball G5 Precision". The difference is night and day.
I don't have much experience with other trackballs. I had a thumb control one from Logitech, which needed cleaning about as often. A small price to pay for pointing perfection, though.
Not sure yet, a lot of subs haven't set up on Lemmy yet. Hoping that'll change after the blackout next week.
