I understand your frustration, and I'll try to provide a solution that's as straightforward as possible. While Linux offers a lot of customization and power, it can sometimes require more technical effort for specific tasks like controller setup.

1. Checking Compatibility: First, let's ensure your Xbox controller is compatible with Linux Mint. Most Xbox controllers should work well, but it's good to verify.

2. Configuration: Linux Mint typically uses the XInput system for game controllers. Sometimes, extra configuration is needed to get controllers working smoothly.

3. Reboot: It's a simple step, but sometimes restarting your computer can help resolve hardware recognition issues.

4. Updates: Make sure your system and packages are up to date. Open a terminal and run:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade
   

5. Install "xboxdrv": If the built-in driver isn't working as expected, you can try installing the "xboxdrv" package, which can provide better controller compatibility. Run:

   sudo apt install xboxdrv
   

6. Calibration: After installing xboxdrv, you can calibrate your controller by running:

   sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver --silent
   

   This command should help with controller recognition.

7. CMake and Driver Compilation (if needed): If the previous steps don't resolve the issue and you're instructed to compile a controller driver using CMake, follow these additional steps:

   • Cloning the Repository: Use the git command to clone the controller driver repository from Git. Replace `` with the actual URL of the repository:

     git clone https://www.yourwebsite.com/
     

   • Compiling the Software: Navigate to the cloned repository folder using the terminal. Create a build directory:

     mkdir build
     cd build
     

     Generate the build files with CMake:

     cmake ..
     

     Build the software:

     make
     

   • Installation: After successfully building the software, you may need to install it. This can usually be done with the following command:

     sudo make install
     

8. Browser Game Stream: If you're using a web browser for Xbox game streaming, ensure you're using a browser that fully supports it. Google Chrome is a good choice for this.

9. Test: Finally, test your controller in a web-based game streaming service like Xbox Cloud Gaming to see if it works as expected.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, please provide more details about your system, controller model, and any error messages you encounter during the process. I'll do my best to assist you further.

Oh, okay but do the Lemmy devs really have control over who starts an instance? Isn't this the whole point of the fediverse or do I have it wrong?

Tbh, I haven't experienced too many issues other then modifying a couple prgrams to be compatible with OpenRC. On my main desktop I use Debian 12 and Systemd with my 2080 SUPER and haven't encountered any issues.

Although, when I tried to install the open kernel version of the NVIDIA driver, my system didn't like it, so I ended up installing the full proprietary driver and it works well. Will be switching to AMD once I need to buy another graphics card.

(I use Gnome as my DE with two 1440p 144hz monitors)

I use Debian with the Linux-libre kernel and OpenRC, relatively the same experience but without the AUR.

If the primary objective here is to engage in constructive dialogue, then name-calling and overgeneralization serve no purpose and only fuel the fire. The issue at hand has been conflated to be about political affiliations like Republican vs. Democrat, when that's not the core point of discussion at all. We're here to debate the merits and drawbacks of mod removal, not to stereotype one another based on our political leanings or otherwise.

I must point out, albeit reluctantly, that much of the stereotyping and overgeneralizing in this thread seems to be coming from those who are in favor of the mod's removal. This does little to advance a constructive conversation and only serves to deepen divisions.

If we're truly interested in finding common ground or at least understanding the other side of the argument, we need to stop dismissing each other's viewpoints out of hand. Only through respectful and open discussion can we hope to reach a resolution that considers the full complexity of the issue.
