Valve released a new Steam Deck Beta update that includes a useful tweak to its Xbox controller detection.
There’s a bit of a problem with modern Xbox controllers and Bluetooth, where they won’t properly connect up with SteamOS / Linux unless they’ve gone through a firmware update. I’ve seen a lot of support requests about this issue over the years and so it’s good to see Valve highlight it directly. While it’s a Steam Deck Beta Client update, it should apply to other SteamOS devices too.
The worst part is that it is incredibly difficult (impossible?) to update the controller firmware on anything other than an Xbox or a Windows PC…
How inconvenient to only be able to upgrade on 95% of PC’s out there.
I mean, yeah, this is a thread under an article about issues with that 5%
The Fediverse is a fucking fantasy world. Some real shit takes from people who live on the fringe who have convinced themselves that everyone thinks and acts like them.
Show me on the doll where the linux users hurt you.
Welcome to Linux development!
Actually, the Fediverse is ideologically predisposed to this type of thinking. The Fediverse as a concept assumes that people will forgo convenience for a more granular experience. As such, it should come as no surprise that the people you find here think that convenience should be forgone for a more granular experience, because the people who don’t think that will never use the Fediverse.
They are here to save us!
