You ( Mr. Octavian ) asked me:

Much more than you and Scotty Doty, apparently.
Scott Doty's façade/lies have been exposed.

"DejaVu Sans Mono" has no Asian glyphs, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
[ 'ツ' is katakana, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is a kaomoji ]

It has no doubleWide glyphs;
instead, it has a narrow set of crude, HalfHeight glyphs.
Too crude, "MS Mincho" is _much_ better.

"OCR A" ( Optical Character Recognition ) is best for coding;
because 1 doesn't look like l, O doesn't look like 0, etc.
"Segoe UI Symbol" has Emojies.  And so on.

"rxvt-unicode" doesn't mix and match fonts;
so you can't specify which glyphs, from which fonts, should be used.

I'm using Dejavu Sans Mono Book in a mate-terminal.  I have no trouble
whatsoever displaying or inserting Asian glyphs into any file in vim.
I can either echo the character in or copy/paste it.

In Dejavu Sans Mono Book, 1 doesn't look like l, O doesnt' look
like 0, etc.  Show me any emoji or heiroglyphic or cuneiform
or asian character that you think I am not able to display
on my terminal or use in a file.  Every single one I've tested
from unicode.org has worked.

You've never used it.  How would you know what it can do?  The swastika
is not part of Dejavu sans mono either, but I can sure set it as my
terminal prompt.

Others are well aware of it.  They've been trying to tell you, but you
wouldn't listen.  Linux is fantastic.  You should try it.

Linux distros have *tons* of things that Windows 10 lacks,
not the least of which is a powerful command shell.  Sure,
you can jump through hoops and install some of that stuff
on Windows, but why put yourself through that hassle?

A little googling shows that people have successfully programmed
all the buttons on that mouse under Linux.

lua is available for linux, but you won't need it to program the
mouse.  There already exist utilities for binding xevents.

You say the shell is not the least of such things.

Can you show some of the other things? Would love to see how desktop Linux
serves you better than the competition!

Would love to see it. Here is how I configure mine on a competing system:

<https://youtu.be/sdSiYE7lbQI>

Works great for me. I have asked others if you can do this on Linux and they
seem to have no answer... just say programming mice is "idiotic" and leads
to forcing people to single-task in some way they cannot describe. Weird.

For me it allows me to use MORE programs the way I want... choice is good.

    That is the most idotic way to program a mouse. But I guess the
    typical single-taskers (windows and OSX users) who run only one
    program can get away with such idiotic ideas. Linux users who tend
    to have several applications on the desktop would not appreciate
    if the programming of the different buttons constantly changes

Much of this depends on the company behind the mouse rather than Linux
vs. Windows.  Do they follow a standard protocol for mouse buttons? (Is 
there even a standard protocol that covers a zillion mouse buttons?) Or
do they do something proprietary?  (And esp. if proprietary) Did they
release Linux drivers or code examples applicable to Linux (or Mac FWIW)?
Or did they cheap out and spend money only to develop a Windows driver?

Probably.  From what I've read, it looks like everything is
easy enough except for the gShift.  The scancodes generated
are the same whether the gShift is down or not.  Apparently
you'll need to boot into windows and change g600 "profiles"
or whatever, so that different codes are generated, so that
this state can then be detected under linux.  IOW, you can
do it, but preliminaries have to be dealt with under windows
first.

I doubt it.  I believe your lua script talks to the LGS software.
Does that matter?

Of course not, I use "Segoe UI Historic" for that.
I've been talking about mixing and matching fonts;
one font is _not_ enough.

I don't even bother with "fonts."  I keep the one terminal font.  I can
call up a unicode glyph by number whenever I want within vim or at the
terminal, and it displays properly.

No, I don't have to type in the hex.  I can select and paste.

So, instead of constantly whining how Linux cannot mix/match fonts 
(something which apparently only you care about), why not _fix_ Linux
so that it does?  That's the whole idea behind Linux.

Better yet, come up with a custom font mixer tool, one that takes parts
from Font A, part from Font B and part from Font C and produce a fantastic
custom font.

Is that jackwagon saying that you can't mix fonts in LibreOffice?
Certain terminals?  Certain newsreaders?  I mean, those things aren't Linux,
but they can run in Linux, and some of them can mix fonts.  It has nothing
to do with "Linux".

Maybe GNU Unifont would be enough for most purposes?

Check out the chart/picture shown there.
