Admittedly, the last time I tried it was maybe 5 years ago. I used ubuntu (can’t remember which distro) but I recall having to fiddle a lot with drivers and WINE. Is the scenario still the same today?

With the horrors of Win11 widely talked about, I’m thinking of flirting with linux once more. Is it a good idea at this time? Or is gaming on linux still niche as it once was?

What is your distro and what tips and tricks/perspectives you can share with a newbie like me :)

How do you get Bluetooth controllers to connect. I've got an Xbox One controller and for the life of me I cannot get the damn computer to see it. I ended up just hooking it up to my steam deck so I got some use out of it

I just bought one of those 8bitdo usb adaptors - it works perfectly with Xbox one controllers etc
