  • I am on Fedora as well and have used the microsoft wireless dongle with the medisalix/xone kernel module in the past, but i stopped using it since it had me pull and plug the dongle once every while to make it work again.

    Nowadays i just use bluetooth (with my xbox one and xbox series x controller). You actually don’t need any additional packages for that. Three things to consider about this:

    • You possibly have to upgrade the controller firmware with an atrocious app on a windows machine
    • pairing is a nightmare (needed an hour for one controller always trying until the pairing completed)
    • You need to set some bluetooth settings in a config file for Bluetooth LE timings since the microsoft team thought it would be funny to not let the controller advertise the right configurations.

    All that said, once paired and configured it just works ™. Feel free to reach out if you need further information.

















  • GOG stands (or stood idk) against DRM measures, to which i would count gaming in a cloud with uncertainty if you would get your savefiles if you want to continue offline, therefor your possibility to play a game is bound to being online, etc.

    That said, you can still get all your games as offline installer. With cloud gaming they are trying their best to stay relevant / competitive in the market, so good for them. I still buy my games on GOG if it’s available, but won’t play in the cloud.

    Edit: The article states that the DRM-free aspect stays the same and your savefiles will be available through gog galaxy (and therefor heroic on linux)
