What's really annoying is getting this error when you're already on the latest version in the windows preview program.

Thank goodness for steam. I just do my controller config in there now.

(Side note. Buying a steam deck finally pushed me over the edge to try to do all my gaming on Linux. So far so good.)

To anyone who hasnt: do it! I did it a year ago and the only things you cant do are games with kernel level anticheat, but pretty much any of those games arent worth playing in my opinion anyways.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I tried with two different GPUs (Nvidia and AMD), and 6 different distros (including gaming specific ones), and my experience was garbage. Everything was super laggy, including steam itself.

Eventually I gave up and reinstalled windows.

And I'm not a windows fan boy. That install is the only non-linux system I run apart from my work PC (which I just use to remote into Linux).

I wish Steam would let me filter games with rootkits so I don't even see them.

This thread is weird. People complain about Microsoft doing its Microsoft thing but the moment someone suggests to stop using Microsoft products and switch to an increasingly viable and approachable alternative they get downvoted.

"I don't want a solution, I want to be angry!"

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

That's windows users for you. Only complaining and never putting any effort into learning the alternatives.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Seriously. Mac is so much better, what are they thinking?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

that isn't just an OS change you dummy it's a complete repurchase of equipment. nice suggestion don't like windows/Linux jUsT bUy MaC hUrrdUrr

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago

Someone seems to be intimidated by having to learn how an os works.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mac is not Windows. As for better, these days, that is debatable. Apple has mostly stopped any kind of major growth, innovation, or rewrite a decade ago, after they ran out of the backlog of Jobs ideas. Now their products are just a cup game of feature juggling.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Hard agree. They have gone way down hill, and you are spot on with your innovation comment. I still prefer them to Windows though, and their ecosystem still makes my life easier.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I accidentally bought an Xbox controller but luckily realized driver updates and so on would be an endless parade of bullshit while I was still within the return window. Unbelievable that they are getting away with such poor user experience.

Try the program "REWASD". Or for linux, Input Remapper (Pop OS has this by default in their repository)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've heard of it before, but the one thing preventing me from using it is my uncertainty about whether the mapping is done through software. Do I need Rewasd to always run in the background, or with the Elite V2 can I remap the key bindings directly on the controller without needing the software to be active?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You need the software running in the background. For what it's worth, the overhead is basically 0 when I use it.

Or for linux, Input Remapper (Pop OS has this by default in their repository)

Ah ok thanks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Ugh so much snark in this thread

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

While this does seem overly restrictive and out of place there, the result of this isn't bad, because everyone should be at the most recent vesion at all times, period. If you aren't, you're exposed to more security holes and bugs. So it's weird that that program forces you to do that, but it's still not bad that you're forced to do it. If you get what I mean. For some less-caring users who'd otherwise never install updates, forced updates are actually a net positive.

However, as you can see, the creation dates for both the virtual disk of the VM and the Windows 10 ISO are August 2, 2024—just under nine days ago. I seriously doubt there is a significant Windows update that would prevent me from running Xbox Accessory without first updating my operating system

That's a lot of words for "just use Linux".

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Go ahead and update the firmware or change button bindings on an Xbox controller using Linux for me. Go ahead. I'll wait.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

change button bindings

AntiMicroX. Simple graphical application to rebind controller inputs to keyboard and mouse actions. You're welcome.

Middle Finger to Microsoft, just use Linux

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I'm using linux, tho I wanted to reverse engineer the program to make the controller customizable under linux, but if I don't run windows I can't do that!
