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

Not "environment" but "ecosystem." I was referring to Windows, not friend groups. I guess I wasn't clear enough.

I hate to bring out the "it's not that deep", but it definitely feels like you're reading a little too far into what I was trying to say. You've well and truly lost me here with the "white knight" part, I wasn't trying to be combative and I'm not sure what "internalized battle" you imagine I have. Sure, I didn't project OP's friends as particularly hostile as much as light ribbing, so I easily could have misjudged the situation. Still, this feels like a bit much.

I'm not sure what it is about the internet turns people into such armchair psychologists, but I'm just going to leave things here, wish you well, and move on with my day.

I'm not sure what it is about the internet that turns people into such back peddling revisionists once they ate called out? But you won't be responding again, so I guess this is the end.
