From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Me and my 2 other friends were planning to play fifa on my computer last night. I have 3 gamepads. One is xbox one controller. I use cachy os and I couldn't connect my xbox gamepad. I connected it actually but the laptop was not able to understand that was a gamepad. It didn't worked. I tried for 1 hour and my friends just laught ar me because of i use linux. And the worst part, if it was windows we would have no problem. Anyway, do you have any suggestions cause i thought cachy might not be the best option for gaming. I dont want dual boot my laptop, i hate windows

I'm the only linux user in my group of friends and fortunately my switch didn't change anything.

I never was late or anything to play because every game starts well now. My controller only works when steam is started though so I think I still can improve that by installing the steam compatibility driver package thing.

Honestly dont give up OP. Once you will have completely setup your games and got to know your system better it will run fine.

I also hated Windows so much I moved to cachyos earlier this year and I'm not turning back. Also I have never played as much video games since my switch to cachyos. The change of OS and the fact that I again feel "in control" of my computer again had somehow reinvigorated my fun playing games with friends.

Basically, OP, dont give up! If I can make it everyday with my group of friends, you can manage it too with yours (even if they sound rather immature). Honestly once you will have setup games on proton so many times you will be able to avoid most problems in a matter of minutes.

IE we bought and played a game on a whim with 4 players. It wasn't working on cachyos-proton so I quickly changed it to my emergency GE-Proton compatibility and it worked right away.
