Not sure, depends on the controller, the main reason is I want to be able to customize the LEDs for example, and able to update the controller if it needs it and back pedals too, I know steam can can change control buttons but some games I play without steam on for better performance.
Why I bought a steam deck even though I have a laptop that’s better (although a lot older) mainly because my laptop won’t work with Linux (yes including the latest drivers) because of the fucking Nvidia won’t work properly.
Although tbh I rather play games on my steam deck with potato quality just because it’s portable
One of my main problems with Linux is the obsessive amount of text things have to learn or understand it, I have to sig around online for someone who doesn’t say rtfm because the manual is extremely long and it’s usually a pretty small easy problem. Or I find someone who has the problem and no response or a response that doesn’t work in the current version. It took me a couple of days to setup my home Linux entertainment system because of these reasons.
Accessibility matters,it’s good to have proper documentation and it also good to make it accessible to everyone and not just the hardcore Linux people.
One of the things I had problems with is with my laptop turning off my external display with the lid was closed, took me a couple of days to find it was in some text file in systemd instead of idk in the power settings?
Linux is hard and it’s not user friendly. But better then Windows for me at least, mainly because Linux has more accessibility options now then windows.
I have a g502 hero, Piper won’t install because ratbagd can’t get installed via flat pack, solar works, but no clue how to use it for what I need. mind telling me how you did it?
Is there a way to bind it to a mouse key? And have it set-up to auto repeat tell I stop holding down the button?
Man pages are for people who already know a lot about Linux and understand all the nuances and understanding of Linux
Even after using Linux for many many years I still don’t understand wtf nearly all man pages mean. It’s like a fucking codex. It needs to be simplified but not to the extreme where it doesn’t give you information you need to understand it.
Tbh that’s most of Linux, not designed for average people, designed by Linux users who think that all others should know everything about Linux.
Well it’s mainly I play games with steam off for more performance (yes I know it’s little to none but still) and back buttons, changing the LEDs and updating the controller, plus I’m trying to find accessories that have software that is Linux compatible, basically I want everything I have to be natively working on Linux, software and all.
