            How would that make a difference? The words still mean different things… You just have to remember what spelling belongs to what word.

              English is not my first not language. When I write something down in my first language (polish), it feels more like I’m transcribing things I silently say to myself, while with english I’m actually thinking about every word I type.

              The funny thing is, the better I am getting at English, making those types of mistakes is getting easier for me.

              But idk, this is just my experience.

    Urgh. Wish this were true, but nope.

    Still needs waaay more effort just to do (some) simple stuff a normal person might just expect to work.

    Just installed Mint on a laptop to replace W10. Went really smoothly, and was quite impressed.

    Thought I’d try a bit of emulation with Yuzu. Wanted to use a Switch pro controller. Plug and play? Nope. Tried Xbox one controller instead. Neat. Works. I can live with that.

    But then thought I’d try a bit of Xbox game stream. No controller works with browser. Try obvious things to fix.

    Looked for answers and they’re all like, someone going: oh, you just need to clone the controllerwaffelen driver from git, then just compile the installer using the command sudo apt get- monkeyshyte wtf -make then run the installer from the folder using cmake- getfuckednoob.

    I don’t know what any of this is. Tried following instructions.

    And, frankly, I cannot be fucked to spend four hours finding out / troubleshooting for something I would have thought was fairly coomon.

    It’s not a deal breaker, it’s just another bit of faff and fuckaboutiness that puts me off. And, I suspect would others even less tech minded.

      I understand your frustration, and I’ll try to provide a solution that’s as straightforward as possible. While Linux offers a lot of customization and power, it can sometimes require more technical effort for specific tasks like controller setup.

      1. Checking Compatibility: First, let’s ensure your Xbox controller is compatible with Linux Mint. Most Xbox controllers should work well, but it’s good to verify.

      2. Configuration: Linux Mint typically uses the XInput system for game controllers. Sometimes, extra configuration is needed to get controllers working smoothly.

      3. Reboot: It’s a simple step, but sometimes restarting your computer can help resolve hardware recognition issues.

      4. Updates: Make sure your system and packages are up to date. Open a terminal and run:

        sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

      5. Install “xboxdrv”: If the built-in driver isn’t working as expected, you can try installing the “xboxdrv” package, which can provide better controller compatibility. Run:

        sudo apt install xboxdrv

      6. Calibration: After installing xboxdrv, you can calibrate your controller by running:

        sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver --silent

        This command should help with controller recognition.

      7. CMake and Driver Compilation (if needed): If the previous steps don’t resolve the issue and you’re instructed to compile a controller driver using CMake, follow these additional steps:

        • Cloning the Repository: Use the git command to clone the controller driver repository from Git. Replace `` with the actual URL of the repository:

          git clone https://www.yourwebsite.com

        • Compiling the Software: Navigate to the cloned repository folder using the terminal. Create a build directory:

          mkdir build
cd build

          Generate the build files with CMake:

          cmake ..

          Build the software:

          make

        • Installation: After successfully building the software, you may need to install it. This can usually be done with the following command:

          sudo make install

      8. Browser Game Stream: If you’re using a web browser for Xbox game streaming, ensure you’re using a browser that fully supports it. Google Chrome is a good choice for this.

      9. Test: Finally, test your controller in a web-based game streaming service like Xbox Cloud Gaming to see if it works as expected.

      If these steps don’t resolve the issue, please provide more details about your system, controller model, and any error messages you encounter during the process. I’ll do my best to assist you further.
