I haven’t gotten a Steam survey in over 2 years. Maybe Valve should use the actual login and playtime data vs some random survey.

I say this because every month these stats come out and gaming sites use them as gospel in the state of Linux gaming.

This is why you don’t buy a game within the first month of release. The average gamer will buy it anyway because they are caught in the hype.

Glad they FINALLY fixed the issue with Deus Ex. I beat the game before and it was annoying to kill the task or force close in desktop Steam and the Deck.

So this is going to be fixed later this year? Ouch it’s still January.

Quoting: t3gHas anyone tried the 2.4ghz dongle with Ubuntu 22.04 or something with a newer 6.x kernel like Pop OS, Arch, or Fedora?

Yes, after flashing the beta firmware update it works in dinput/switch mode. That being said I'm still returning mine. The 2.4Ghz is nice but I cannot deal with the plastic on plastic joystick grinding I experienced on the ultimate in less than a week of use. The gulikit king kong 2 pro also has hall effect sensors AND has a metal ring around the joysticks and after using it I can't go back.

Hmm? Plastic on Plastic is almost every major controller out there though, I’ve never seen it as a problem?

Btw are you in conversation with Valve or know exactly where they are handling the Xbox controllers (xpad, udev, etc) in SteamOS? If so, are they going to upstream their changes to the Linux kernel for xpad or anything related?

I ask because I got the Ultimate 2.4gz controller today and noticed some issues where it may conflict with the 8Bitdo USB adapters. I also contacted 8bitDo support with the feedback: https://github.com/paroj/xpad/issues/228 [External Link]

I bought the original Launch a year ago with Royal switches and have enjoyed it. Using daily for engineering job and loving the split space.

It’s expensive but I’m supporting a local US based company that open sources the hardware and software. It’s for the long run as I can easily swap out keys and switches.

Works well with the Jade for typing and Silent Pink for gaming.

Another reason to license as MPL 2.0 for libraries. Library is copyleft but is self isolated and can be used in FLOSS and proprietary software.

POP!_OS 22.04 gets the latest kernel, Mesa, Nvidia drivers, and Pipewire. It also has the system76-scheduler which should negate the need for Gamemode. For a guy that runs Fedora, kinda weird that you are suggesting Ubuntu still. Especially with the recent trend of YouTubers ditching Arch for Fedora and saying Fedora is the new Ubuntu.

The cloud saves with GOG are great, would be nice to have the achievements in sync too.
