Valve being abysmal in conducting proper survey statistics makes me hopeful they aren't (or at least aren't capable of) data mining our systems. :grin:

But from what I read they register as a dinput nintendo controller on PC through BT, which results in no analog triggers (bummer for racing games)

Why don't you use the USB dongle and play off that wirelessly ? it's way better than Bluetooth stability wise, (and range too, concerning the rest of your comment) and when connected with that dongle it works in X-input with the analogue triggers and everything.

I have the not-pro controller and it's my favourite controller for modern games, highly recommend.

Edit: I totally misread that the controller in question is the SN30 Pro, because they had their new Ultimate controller which just came out so I subconsciously replaced that with the SN30 Pro when reading the article. My bad.

So, to answer your question, just get the Ultimate controller (non Bluetooth model). It has hall effect sticks, is x input, and the dock is super sweet.

I'm in the middle of Thief Gold myself, the game is exceptional as expected, but I dare say it's starting to overstay its welcome with 35 hours of playtime and yet still a couple missions away, the Expert difficulty setting makes each mission considerably longer which lentghens the game's overall playtime. Even though like I said I really like the game, it's just a bit absurd for me to take (I predict) 40+ hours on a game that overall has way less story than something like Deus Ex which took me about 33 hours.

In searching for why did this remaster take them so long, I came across a prehistoric GOL article of all websites :grin::

What a nice coincindence. So the source code was lost ? That makes sense and explains all this wait, they probably had to reverse engineer a lot.

Web UI is still only focused for the Gnome version.

Wait really ? Why would the new installer be DE specific ?

One exciting major addition here for Fedora Linux 42 is that the KDE Plasma desktop has now been promoted to "edition status", meaning you can consider it a flagship experience and that their support of the KDE Plasma desktop will be good.

From what I read from the Fedora KDE people, the change is more for visibilitiy for newcomers than anything else, since the 'flagship' experience and support has already been present and is the case for a while now, and I personally attest to that!

Nice, might force my console friends into buying this soon.

Enable Steam Play for all other titles' is always enabled on SteamOS, updated the UI accordingly to stop showing a non functional toggle.

This is definitely gearing up to the public SteamOS release.

I never did more involved modding that required mod managers, so I'm not experienced in this; for this new manager, I thought the process would be so they just need to make a solid base, then new games can just be supported, but so far it looks like it's "add game, fix bugs, repeat", will there be a point where this won't be the case ? Feels like it'll be forever until more games are supported if they're going one by one.

I hope this somehow falls off. I do not want Discord in my games.
