It’s an Arctis Nova 7. It’s intended to be used with a program called Steelseries GG that manages EQ profiles for the headset, as well as spatial audio, with some proprietary thing called Sonar. It also includes a mixer for managing multiple audio sources. I find the whole thing to be pretty nifty. But what I’m worried about is losing this functionality if/when I move from Windows to Linux, apparently that specific program doesn’t have Linux support. Does anyone have any experience with this or something similar?

    I literally got the Acrtic Nova 7 a month ago, and I daily drive OpenSUSE. There were no issues getting it set up for normal use, but Sonar doesn’t have a Linux version and as far as I could find there are no instructions to get it working so all of those creature comforts will not work.

    One thing to note is that if you connect to Windows via Bluetooth and not the dongle, make sure to unpair the headset before wiping Windows. I ran into this because I had it connected to my old phone and had to unpair it to connect it to my new one (the headset will not pair to a new device unless intentionally unpaired from the old one)
