I use Fedora 40 workstation (Gnome) , run everything (Outlook, OneDrive, etc.) on browser, Teams as a FlatPak, and use Only Office for Excel, which I then upload to One Drive.
So far it's all worked like a charm.

Ok, this one will work, I got it for my son and he's on ZorinOS. After programming the buttons (must be done in windows) he can plug and use the mouse, without drivers, on any computers (windows, mac, Linux, remote terminals) and preserve his customized button commands.
I got away with configuring on a windows 10 VM passing the USB port through.

Make sure you get the black one if you're going to go this route, the white one is more expensive and it's the exact same thing, not worth the extra money in my opinion.
For something relatively fast, I suggest you stick to Intel chipsets, and avoid realtek like the plague. As others mentioned, you can go with Atheros, but your speed will certainly suffer, as well as probably breaking the ability to put the computer to sleep with S3.
I understand you would rather go with 100% FOSS, but this carries trade-offs.
I've seen you commenting on each option given that "it's too expensive". To help us help you, what is your budget and the minimum DPI you would be comfortable with? Be mindful that some advertised DPI are just that, "advertised".
Never mind the fact that paying for a license doesn't guarantee it won't break. In my experience, every Linux distro I've used has been much more solid than all Windows versions since Windows 8.
Awesome. Fedora is my main driver (when i'm not distrohopping, lol). Thank you so much for sharing this. I'll be taking it for a spin over the weekend.
Hyprland is definitively not noob friendly. Are you running it on Arch or Fedora? I've been wanting to try it, but with all the config file work needed, it scares me to have it break at some or other update.
To comment. What is yours?
I live in a Caribbean island, therefore, mine are always at full throttle 🤣.
It has 2 variable modes:
Smart: varies RPMs based of temperature.
Auto: Off, and turn on based on your settings on at what temp you want them to start spinning, then they go to top RPM.
Yeah, that too, but for my work account that didn't work for some reason, so I just use it over a browser.
