I too have always been interested in such devices, and am also now in the Linux world. (My default distro is Manjaro with xfce). I'm currently considering an Astro Slide Or a Galago Pro, but availability of both devices is spotty. Everything you've said suggests that something like the Galago would serve me better.

As you are in the US, you might be more interested in the Galago Pro from System76. Source: over 1 year ago

System76 seems to be pretty popular for Linux based laptops. I don't know off the top of my head if they check all the boxes, but probably a few at least. For example: Https://system76.com/laptops/galago. Source: over 1 year ago

The fix is open-source firmware, like Coreboot or LinuxBoot. Incumbent PC-compatible vendors aren't too interested, but there's more than enough room at the table for offshore and onshore vendors to use open firmware as a feature. Google, Purism, and System76 are some of the vendors doing this. Source: about 2 years ago

I bought a Galago Pro from System 76 a couple years ago and have not had any problems. It bn my favorite laptop I've ever owned tbh. Source: over 2 years ago

Mac Mouse Fix - To correct scroll direction of my Logitech mice. Also can assign back/forward mouse button. The Logitech official app is super bloated. Source: 7 months ago

Not tried yet but this looks quiet interesting https://mousefix.org. Source: 7 months ago

Yup, same here. I use this open source tool https://mousefix.org/ otherwise the scrolling would drive me insane. Source: 7 months ago

You can try https://mousefix.org. I used it to configure an old Logitech mouse with some custom actions. Source: 12 months ago

Nice! I've been using Mac Mouse Fix (https://mousefix.org/), which is also open source, to handle inverting my mouse wheel and remapping the back/forward buttons, but LinearMouse looks quite a bit more featureful. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
