Comment on Consumer hardware is no longer a priority for manufacturers
Lfrith@lemmy.ca 3 weeks agoI’m talking more about software and program level support. Not whether hardware itself is working on Linux.
Like software to be able to update firmware on controllers, which doesn’t work on Linux. Controller itself will work. 8bitdo to update firmware they only support windows.

Ah, makes sense. You’re right about firmware updaters, and I don’t know if I’d trust one running under Wine anyway tbh. Who knows what weird system calls they make assuming you’re running Windows 95 or whatever.

Yeah, when I updated my controller I did it on another device I have windows dual booted on with nothing important on it just for that purpose.
