That's very cool!
And it's something people could be pointed to when they say there's no money in Linux gaming.

Quoting: HalifaxKDE Plasma 4 in Debian 8.4 "Jessie" is the only DE worth using. Why, oh why, did Plasma 5 have to suffer a group brainfart and think "streamlining" the goodness of Oxygen down to the devolved Breeze theme was a way forward? X-)

I'm in the process of leaving KDE due to it's state in Debian testing. Has KDE become that bad or is it just the testing state?

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: omer666On another hand, they almost dominate mobile phones market, on the past 5 years they were tied with Samsung.

Only in the US. In the EU and the rest of the world Android is the clear leader with more than 80% of the market.

I was surprised about this statement as well.
Apple is (still?) doing well, but far from dominating the market in terms of share, and nowadays it even looks like they're no more dominating it in terms of inovations.

I'm surprised by the reviews, it has got a decent 85% [External Link] in my favorite PC games magazine. Metacritic has 73 [External Link].

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: EikeOf course, that's a biased top ten. League of Legends e. g. would be in there if it would be on Steam. But it's still great.

This is not about games outside of Steam though, this is directly looking at Steam.

Right. It's not like there's anything wrong with the article, it's just that nobody should confuse that with
"8 out of the 10 current most popular games support Linux".

Quoting: CreakWow that was exactly it! I can play Broforce with a controller now!

Cool!

Quoting: CreakWhy Fedora and Debian doesn't have this configuration by default? (Well I don't really know the udev syntax, so maybe turning everything with uinput in 0666 isn't good... I mean it's literally written "666" :D)

I'm not sure it's the safe way to go, I just know it's a working way.
As far as I understood, Steam Controller needs to have write access to the input device so it can emulate. I'd be happy to hear if someone has a more closed way to make it work, but until then, I'm surely using this one.

Quoting: CreakDo you see something wrong?

Oops, found that my controller wasn't working after my reinstallation of Debian.
Good for you, this way I needed to recheck what I had done. :)

I had to change my udev rule to:
# Valve USB devices
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="28de", MODE="0666"
# Steam Controller udev write access
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0666"
#KERNEL=="uinput", SUBSYSTEM=="misc", TAG+="uaccess"
# HTC Vive HID Sensor naming and permissioning
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2c87", MODE="0666"

... and I've put uinput into the list of modules loaded at start time.
That's in /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf on my system.

If you happen to own Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (everybody should! ;o) ), it's a good test.
It greets either with "Press enter" - you're not there yet - or with "press (A)" - then you're fine.
