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.

    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.
