Comment on Can't change controller settings without updating Windows first

What’s really annoying is getting this error when you’re already on the latest version in the windows preview program.
Thank goodness for steam. I just do my controller config in there now.
(Side note. Buying a steam deck finally pushed me over the edge to try to do all my gaming on Linux. So far so good.)

To anyone who hasnt: do it! I did it a year ago and the only things you cant do are games with kernel level anticheat, but pretty much any of those games arent worth playing in my opinion anyways.

I tried with two different GPUs (Nvidia and AMD), and 6 different distros (including gaming specific ones), and my experience was garbage. Everything was super laggy, including steam itself.
Eventually I gave up and reinstalled windows.

Give Pop!_OS a try. It has Nvidia drivers baked in. Make sure to enable GPU accelerated web views in steam.

Out of curiosity, which games? Was steam flatpak or from repo?

BG3 was the most recent, but all games I tried had issues, even ones that are Linux verified. And I think it was from repo for the distros that weren’t specifically for gaming.

I wish Steam would let me filter games with rootkits so I don’t even see them.
