From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cut the ends and wire it to USB connector directly. No dongle
That only works sometimes. Many receivers are only PS/2 compatible, especially older ones.
They mention it works with the dongle but they main thing is that it's too big.
The dongle is huge (almost as big as the mouse) its not really suitable to attach to a laptop
No dongle. If it works to usb, you can put a USB connection on the end. Multi meter and soldering iron.
Wireless module is big
