- Comment on I am looking for a Linux OS 3 days ago:
Fedora KDE.
Looks similar-esque to Windows and Steam and most/all your games will run great on it.
Packages and kernel are kept current and it’s stable.
It has an App Store called Discover for finding most anything you will need out of the gate.

We still have a 55” Vizio LED/LCD 1080p from 2012? Going strong as our living room tv.
Not upgrading till the panel literally dies.

That would most likely have been a AS/400 iSeries setup. Still in use by some large companies.

Huh?
My old iPhone had a eSIM via Visible. On my new iPhone, I installed the app and logged in then installed the eSIM from there. Done with it all in less than 5 minutes.

- Comment on Latest Steam Deck update will warn you if an Xbox controller needs upgrading 1 month ago:
It’s been a few months since I worked on it but IIRC Windows VM saw it as a controller, which made it that much more confusing as to why the app wouldn’t recognize it.
I was using QEMU/KVM on my Fedora box for the VM. It’s possible it would work using a different client such as VirtualBox or the likes. I had spent enough time on it by that point so I just went the Win10 on spare laptop route to get it done as I was sick of screwing around with it.
The irony is I spent almost 20 years in IT supporting Windows and solving all kinds of unique issues that arose from unconventional business needs. Glad to be out of the MS world now.

Do you have a spare machine at all? Windows install is easy, you don’t need a key for activation or anything. Just pull down the official iso from Microsoft and install Win10 Pro. Let’s you setup a local account when you select domain join machine.
Again, it’s a pain in the ass that you have to do it all but it gets the job done.
The linchpin of needing Windows is because Microsoft only lets you update the firmware on the controller two ways, either via a Xbox console itself or via the Xbox Accessories app via a Windows machine. There is no standalone client or web version to do it. It’s a longstanding “problem” for Linux or MacOS users who just want to use the damn controller via its BT connection.
- Comment on Latest Steam Deck update will warn you if an Xbox controller needs upgrading 1 month ago:
I tried passing the controller through to a VM, no dice. Windows would detect the controller, but the Xbox Accessories app itself that handles the updates could never detect it. After tinkering for a while on it, I just went the Win10 on spare machine route. Fast enough and worked fine.
- Comment on Latest Steam Deck update will warn you if an Xbox controller needs upgrading 1 month ago:
Have a spare computer?
Just throw Win10 on it to update the controller. It’s what I did recently for two new controllers.
PITA? Yes, but ehh.
