You can run them alternative ways usually. Fortnite works with mouse and keyboard through gamepads, although gamepads is a shit deal just for fortnite.

I know a lot of people dual boot or us a virtual machine with windows on it too.

Fortnite works with mouse and keyboard through gamepass

Only local streaming from an Xbox. Streaming from their website requires a controller and I’ve never been able to get a controller to work with a browser on Linux. Well, on Bazzite at least.

  I use a Microsoft Xbox One controller I use to play game pass games on Edge. I use Debian, but it was recognized and worked when I paired it in Bluetooth

    I tried Floorp and Ungoogled Chromium, and I could only get them to detect my controller if I plugged it in while on the page. If I already had it plugged in, it just wouldn’t work. Tried some online HID testers and determined it wasn’t specific to the website. IDK.

    That’s strange. I definitely figured bazzite would have much better device support for game controllers out of the box.

  Ive literally done it, but thats not to say it might not work all the time or under all configurations. I was using I think librefox and an 8bitdo pro2 controller.

    Done what? Used mouse+keyboard for streaming without a console at xbox.com/play? If so, I dunno what to say, I tried on both Windows and Linux under two Firefox browsers on Windows and Firefox and Chromium on Linux. Booting any game presents me with a console UI and doesn’t respond to any keyboard input.

    It only worked for fortnite, I thought I made that explicit but if I didnt, my bad. For some reason fortnite console version allows mouse and keyboard, at least thats why I think it works.
