Does Steam’s controller timeout setting not work with yours? It works on both my PS5 and 8BitDo controller on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

- Comment on Linux Distros Designed for Former Windows Users Are Picking Up Steam | Linux Journal 3 weeks ago:
I can see why so many options would make someone just shake their head and close the settings app.
I think you should go through them when you have the time, if you’re still interested in the other things KDE brings to the table. I went through all of the settings when I moved over to openSUSE Tumbleweed last December, and I’m still here today. KDE to me is what operating systems should do. Give me the power to change every single thing I can, while still having presets for people who don’t.
Anyway, I see your point though! The options are great for making the OS feel like mine!

You’re about one of the only sane ones I see commenting in here. Humans are over all just a destructive little parasite that spreads like germs.
The world would’ve been better off if we died out. I know that hurts some peoples little survival instinct that their brains are programmed with, but I just don’t see with the trajectory we’re taking right now in this very moment a world that turns out fine with us both coexisting and healing the destruction we’ve caused to the nature around us.
Humans, by themselves, have caused most mass extinctions. That is both sad and frightening.

It is definitely great for what it is, and I do jump in every new update. Plus, it’s one of those games I can just throw on when I’m not feeling a particular type of game to play, and it usually does help me get in the gaming mood. :)
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 1 month ago:
I play games to have fun, which is the reason I don’t play multiplayer games (unless local). I also have a very limited amount of time to play games after work.
I cheat with WeMod on openSUSE Tumbleweed for every game I can. I’ve just recently beaten Resident Evil 2+3 and am currently on 4 right now, and am having a blast getting to play these games!
The number one reason I am having a blast is BECAUSE of the cheats. Every game is different for me, so I only use the cheats that will minimize the amount of time I have to do silly shit like collect X amount of this material or whatever other stupid grindy stuff they come up with that doesn’t respect my time as a player. Using the RE games as an example, I don’t turn on every single cheat. I don’t want to worry about inventory management (not fun to me, personally), so I turn on No Reload. This means my weapons will never need to be reloaded, which means more space in the inventory for the story important items. Win/Win for me. What I don’t do, for these games in particular, is use the infinite/god mode cheats. I still want to get damaged and try to recover if it happens, so I leave that one off.
People get… really fuckin’ weird when you talk about how much fun you have using cheats in a video game. “You can’t be having that much fun, or else you wouldn’t cheat!”, “You shouldn’t cheat on video games because it takes the fun away!”, “WOW, YOU NEED TO GET GUD SCRUB. ONLY LITTLE BABIES CHEAT IN VIDEO GAMES!!!111!!”. And here I am just having fun and completing game after game after game to get through my monumental Steam library. :P

Hey there! I ran across this comment and the subsequent thread and wanted to reach out to you!
WeMod (I will never call it Wand lol) can be used with Linux to varying degrees. I use this little project to play my games with WeMod.
I’m running openSUSE Tumbleweed, and have had a very high rate of success with using WeMod while on openSUSE. I’ve probably beaten about 20 games with them since last year when I made the move to openSUSE. Now, some games do not work right off the bat with it, and I’m not sure why.
If you have any troubles, please reach back out to me in a comment here, so that if we fix your issue, others might benefit too.
Cheers! :)
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 1 month ago:
YES. Exactly!
“Oh, what a WEIRDO for wanting to know about my insert obviously favorite thing / something they enjoy here!!!”
I’ve complimented peoples nails, their tattoos, their outfit/shoes, their accessory or any number of things you can think of that a normal person would consider a nice thing to be asked about, and even then some people just say thanks and then we sit there in silence when the door was wide open to say something, elaborate why the enjoy so and so, or ask something themselves.
That’s just the iceberg of course, I could rant and rave about the myriad of ways people are just so rude and/or self centered these days! It’s maddening, truly.
In a somewhat funny outcome, while I was reading into ways to become a better conversationalist (because I wanted to be better at it, since I never seemed to make friends very well LOL) everyone else was studying the book of “Isolationism, and You, the Main Character”.
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 1 month ago:
I think the larger problem is that a huge portion of our planets current inhabitants don’t know how to have a conversation. I’ve tried so hard to have actual conversations to go deeper than “the weather/work/kids/etc.” It seems almost impossible to find someone who can not only think for themselves, but also think of something to CONTRIBUTE to the conversation.
It always goes like this (where I am from):
Me - (sees a few tattoos on their person) “I see you have some tattoos! Do they hold any special meaning to you, or did you just think they’d look good/cool? :)”
Them - “I just thought they were cool.”
Literally it. In the same position, even from someone who doesn’t like talking either, I would ask if the person asking about my tattoos has any. It’s really as simple as that for most people, or could be, I should say.
I stopped putting so much time into trying to open doors for actual conversation a few years ago when I realized people just don’t know how to talk to actual humans any more. It’s fucking weird.
*I understand some people have issues with social activities, and no harm done. This is a very common thing though, and I just don’t believe 90% of people who I have interacted with are those types of people, if you know what I mean?

- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 months ago:
I left last year around December because I realized how well my Steam Deck ran games. I’ve dabbled with Linux over 10 years now, but gaming really is the only thing I bought my desktop computer for. It has an NVIDIA GPU in it, so I was a little wary of messing my stuff up by installing openSUSE Tumbleweed, but I had a spare SSD from a laptop that finally gave out on me, and installed that into the desktop.
Color me surprised when I find out just how much better Linux is that day (and even today!) than it was all those years I had tentatively tried distros like PopOS/Manjaro/Fedora/Debian/ElementaryOS/etc!
I say this every time I talk about Linux now, but I actually love my computer and being on it again. With Windows, I just wanted it to get the hell out of my way and let me play my damn games (I have a very limited amount of time when I get home from work to do anything I want to do, babysitting my OS is not something I want to do with that limited time)! With openSUSE, I feel totally in control and have my system set up the way I want it to.
There were some things I definitely had to get used to, seeing as I never had to research issues I was having with Windows (never had a problem in the 20 years I’ve been using them, EXCEPT for Windows 8. That was a big piece of flaming garbage, as is Windows 11. 7 and 10 were okay for me though).
Since last year, I have had to login to Windows only to mod my games and move them back over to my Linux SSD (which Linux allows me to pull files from my Windows drive, and is SICK by the way!) and I think maybe play ONE single game because of those mods or A mod. Totally worth it, all said and done!
With Windows, it feels like I’m stepping into someone else’s home. With Linux, it feels like MY home. :-)
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 months ago:
KDE is the best desktop environment I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. So much better than Windows at everything I want out of my desktop!
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 months ago:
Very true. When I first ever installed Linux, it was on an old laptop that I wasn’t using for anything serious anyway, so the install process was simple for someone like me, even as a kid. That doesn’t mean I knew what I was doing by any means, but that was something that made me pause to try and decipher what all these words meant on the screen. lol
- Comment on Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk 2 months ago:
Hey there! What I do on Linux is use the Thorium browser to make the Apple Music an app in the OS. It works really well, but does have some weird visual glitches every now and then. I chalk that up to me having an NVIDIA GPU and using Wayland though, so it could work better for you!
As for lossless, I am not sure on that as I don’t have ears that can tell the difference so it has never been something I focused on!

- Comment on Pokémon Lazarus: When a Fan Game Becomes a Conversation 2 months ago:
People are always going to suck. By conceding and backing away from the project or limelight, the idiots or bots or trolls or whatever they are have “won”. This emboldens things like that. You can see this type of behavior on the Steam forums too. Sometimes you just have to ignore these weird facets of the internet.
The discord blew up when it released. I’d be so much more excited about that than whatever that garbage is on the other side.
I understand Nemo, but I wish they would’ve been able to stand tall and accept the praise from the larger side of the internet.
- Comment on Pokémon Lazarus: When a Fan Game Becomes a Conversation 2 months ago:
You can make it as easy or as hard as you want!
It comes with documentations for the game and the mechanics. One of those has some cheats you can put in to play your way. Their previous romhack Emerald Seaglass was the same way.
Highly recommend both!
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
I understand exactly what you mean by it not being as accessible. They really outdid themselves with the Steam Deck. With EmuDeck, it installed so many different profiles that each have their own little sections in the radial menu. If I had known that was a thing, and if I had some time on my hands, I’d probably have used it a little more!
Either way, we have the best of both worlds now with this controller, so I can’t complain at all now! :)

I was hoping to find a better page to share than this, but time is limited. Here is what I assume is the proper website to at least see what plugins they support. For what it is worth, I use:
CSS Loader
Pause Games
Audio Loader
Memory Deck
Animation Changer (my favorite of all of them)
SteamGridDB
PlayTime (The one I think you are looking for!)Off topic, but I also use Synchthing (not from the Decky plugins) to get my emulation game saves all in one area, then onto my server, which is then uploaded to my cloud provider for access across all my devices. :)
- Comment on Our first look at the Steam Machine, Valve’s ambitious new game console 2 months ago:
No Man’s sky supports the adaptive triggers on PC (Steam) and when they are used, it really does make a little difference! I just always feel like it’s going to break the triggers for some reason. I don’t trust Sony, so that may be why. lol
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
Sorry, I probably made it confusing on which controller was acting up in which ways!
The Xbox Elite 2 controller had the RB button go out on me, and that means I couldn’t play games that required that button (which is surprisingly a LOT of the games I play!). I think it gave out on me on Dark Souls 2 or 3 since that is a RB button heavy game for the light attack. I tried using the paddles to replace the RB button, but even that wasn’t enough to keep me using it, so I put it away. I’m sure I could fix it somehow, but I have a very limited amount of time when I get home from work and just want to chill and play a video game, so tinkering isn’t something I would really want to spend my limited time on at this moment in my life.
For the PS5 controller, it basically refuses to charge when connected to my desktop computer. Specifically, it would never seem to charge, even when turned off fully and then connected to the charging cable. Mow, when I read a Reddit post about someone else having the charge issue (without a PS5, apparently…), they said they had to plug theirs into a wall outlet to charge it. It actually charged it to 100% over night, and was able to last an entire 3-4 hours of gaming in one go, unlike before where it would ding me on KDE that the battery was low, IMMEDIATELY after unplugging it from the desktop cord to use for play. It was such a shitty experience that I had to look it up on Reddit! lol
This 8BitDo controller is absolutely fantastic so far, and like you, I must’ve gotten a good one from the warehouse! I saw some of the reviews saying it had some issues, but I usually chalk those up to user error unless it has some convincing pictures to go with it. Anyway, I have only had the 8BitDo controller for two days so far, BUT:
The sticks are literally the best feeling sticks I’ve ever used. I was actually able to turn my dead zones on both sticks to 0 (or negative in Steam? I’m not entirely sure how that works, as it looks like it goes into the negatives?) and can feel every little turn in game. Can’t believe I’ve been playing my games in an inferior manor!
The hall effect triggers are also amazing! I’m playing GTA4 (with FusionFix mod) on openSUSE Tumbleweed, and I have never had better feeling triggers before. When I can barely press on the right trigger, and the vehicle (Comet, in game) actually starts going slowly? That was something to see with my own eyes, and feel with my own hands. I can’t describe it well enough, but if you are reading this, it made a HUGE difference in feel!
I can’t tell you about battery life just yet, since I only get 3-4 hours after I get home, but I’m sure with it’s charging stand, I won’t need to personally worry about that!
The only thing I can say I don’t like is that I have decent sized hands, and can accidentally press the back buttons just by gripping or rearranging my grip on the controller, so I have those turned off in Steam for now until I relearn how to handle a controller like this since I have been using a PS5 one for so long now.
Sorry for the huge wall of text, but I just can’t believe I have been missing out just because a few controllers gave me issues! Plus, I just love talking about gaming! Thank you for taking the time to reply! :)

There are some Decky plugins for the Play Time issue you are describing! I have over 300 hours logged on ES-DE (EmulationStation Desktop Edition) that was installed through EmuDeck.
I am not currently with my Deck, but I can find the actual name for you later if you need it!

Even with my Nvidia GPU (didn’t know I’d be moving over to Linux when I got it), Linux is still the better option for me, a gamer. Windoze blows!
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
You can also map the trackpads (on the Steam Deck at least, so I assume for the controller) to use a menu that you can tie to anything. EmuDeck set up plenty of Profiles that can switch the controls and the prompts on the touchpad radial to show so many options it would make my head spin! Hopefully that can fulfill your needs?
