Get rid of Windows. There's literally no good reason to have it anymore. None.

Have to have it for work, AutoCAD doesn't run on Linux

How do I play my VR games? How do I test the cross platform application I develop runs correctly on Windows? How do I update the firmware on a device for which the firmware updater only works on Windows?

I use Linux. These are some of the reasons I keep a Windows VM around. So no, it's not true there is "literally no good reason".

OP wants their Xbox controller to just work so I don't think Linux is the best option

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

Seems to be just working with windows huh

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My Xbox controller has just worked on Linux for months now?

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

Wasn't saying that they don't work on Linux just that changing OS for a controller isn't really feasible

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

This, completely switching operating systems is not a reasonable solution to their minor problem.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I don't have time to troubleshoot Linux all the time. So there's one good reason.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

From all the time saved not troubleshooting windows you might actually have to pick up a hobby, which I suppose to some is a reason

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I've had less time troubleshooting Fedora linux lately than I have on Windows

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Assuming it will need a huge amount of troubleshooting is a little crazy.

You clearly do assume you would.

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

Not an assumption.

OTOH, that dialog looks horrible. Who designed that? Are all Xbox dialogs like that?

VBox has better GPU perf compared to QEMU if you are not passing a GPU in my experience

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

Virtual box isn't platform native. It runs slower and isn't even fully foss

I suffer from having to update the firmware of my Xbox controllers through a Windows Laptop we use for office work (using LibreOffice, btw) because they will stop working on my Fedora Linux machine after some time when I update the kernel modules for xone and xpadneo.

It’s interesting to me that you can do that using a VM!!

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.

Xbox one controllers work out of the box
