Valve released a new Steam Deck Beta update that includes a useful tweak to its Xbox controller detection.
There’s a bit of a problem with modern Xbox controllers and Bluetooth, where they won’t properly connect up with SteamOS / Linux unless they’ve gone through a firmware update. I’ve seen a lot of support requests about this issue over the years and so it’s good to see Valve highlight it directly. While it’s a Steam Deck Beta Client update, it should apply to other SteamOS devices too.

Actually, the Fediverse is ideologically predisposed to this type of thinking. The Fediverse as a concept assumes that people will forgo convenience for a more granular experience. As such, it should come as no surprise that the people you find here think that convenience should be forgone for a more granular experience, because the people who don’t think that will never use the Fediverse.
