From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I start a windows virtual machine, could not find an alternative for Linux. I did find one for the corsair scimitar but as a mouse it did not last long enough. I'd like to try the Logitech g600 but it's hard to find

Edit: yeah it's one off for switching you don't need to keep it running
