Pretty bonkers experience tonight. I have Fedora on its own drive next to Windows on my desktop. I've mostly kept it around because I have pre-paid game pass for a few more months. But... I've been spending most of my time in Fedora - including playing my games. Today I rebooted to try a preview of something where Proton doesn't work yet, and ... my PowerA Advantage *wired* Xbox controller won't work. It's half-way invisible to the OS. Spent hours trying troubleshooting tips and running diagnostics and so on and so on. You know where it works every time, though? In Linux. (All I did was allow Windows to install the latest security updates and the latest Arc drivers - so that's the only change) Troubleshooting in Windows is an incredible mess, too. Menus linking to menus or websites and tools saying they are deprecated with seemingly no replacement. I know I often call out Apple for poor quality control and UI design, but Microsoft is so far behind, they aren't even playing the same game. I guess I should just Clonezilla my Fedora on top of Windows and get it over with once and for all, shouldn't I?
