I feel the same way sometimes. I'm a centrist as well, a lot of the people on both sidee in this platform do have extreme takes and have the "You must agree with me or I will ban you" attitude. I wish it was a bit more diverse, whenever I come on Lemmy it is completely saturated with leftists post. I have nothing against people on the left, its just the fact that content is so obviously saturated with it.

I think its because we aren't allowed by default to post images, which I completely understand after what happened back a couple months ago. I've been using Lemmy for more then 4 months actively but yet I still don't have permission to post pictures because of the fact that I'm too lazy to even try to get it enabled. This is a major reason why we aren't seeing a lot of content.

Also, this tends to be mostly a leftist leaning app, so maybe some people get drawn away.

"IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS ITS STILL GNU!"

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.

I don't use Telegram but they don't enable encryption by default? Last time I used Telegram I needed a phone number still, so, I'd say Signal has always been on top.

About to watch Revolution OS right now.

Why Ubuntu? Just use Debian.

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.

Debian is super easy to use, plus we have AI now at our fingertips which makes it even easier.
