I found out that someone has finally forked the xwiimote project. I don't know if this could be included in bazzite or not, but I just wanted to at least inform that this exists.

I found this on my quest to document how you connect most of gaming inputs with Linux (with a RetroDECK lens) and find if there are roadblocks and what they are.
That is extremely cool. Your documentation is put together very nicely. Had no idea the systemd folks were working on this kind of stuff. Awesome to see
If you are intressed I can keep posting my findings here if that is ok by the rest of the bazzite team. Else check on the RetroDECK wiki and I will document everything there.
I'm also trying to save up to buy some other old hardware controllers, it is easier to write a guide when you have it in hand. Most things are not well documented, even by the emulators or even Valve.
I'm definitely interested and okay with that. A lot of documentation is lacking and it's nice to know what's going on, especially if it means we may be able to improve things here. I really appreciate it
I think it was mentioned already some time ago, but to be sure - rebasing from bazzite-deck to bazzite-deck-gnome will introduce instabilities to the system and is not recommended? (In other words, if I want to check GNOME deck version as a long time KDE user, I have to do full reinstall?)
For the GNOME desktop among the technologies that will hopefully mature into good shape this year are high dynamic range (HDR) display support as well as variable refresh rate (VRR)
Hasn't Gnome been working on that for a few years at this point? I mean, for the sake of gnome users, I hope they do sort it out this year, I just tend to not hold my breath in relation to gnome getting stuff done in a sensible timeframe.
After installing it, I noticed the launchers buttons were all grayed out. Deleted proton files and switched to GE and now it runs fine with and without gamescope
"The Linux distro for the wii u have been keeping on developing it.", I have learned, that in the Linux world you simply just stop asking why, and just embrace it
Wait, wait, hold on, Wouldn't having support for the wii u gamepad, make it an actual real alternative for those streaming-only handhelds like the Portal?
