Timeshift is number 1

Also it’s recommended to not reinstall a bunch of stuff and just install the app when you needed it that’s the power of Linux. Unless you just want to learn the software then disregard

Maybe but the way it it works is the software creates a virtual mixer with two virtual sound devices that you set one to your game hand one to your chat program then the chat wheel balances between the two. The virtual sound devices are created by their software not the device driver. It could be done but I don’t think enough people are enough to write that code.

Everything works just fine sound wise but the chatwheel doesn’t work at all. So the changing the volume between your game and discord or some other chat app. Won’t work. Also you can set up their buttons and feedback sensitivity that can be done on windows and it will be saved in the hardware.

Debian for everything since it’s one of the few distros that has always been there. It’s one of the second distros to come after after SLS. Distros come and go, but Debian marches on.
