  • The Nobara-controller-config command is the is way to install it as far as I can tell by the docs. I'll try reinstalling it that way and see if it recognises it by default.

    I agree that the package manager way is the preferred way to go. I fell back to the github repo because it didn't work :)

  • Those are the steps I took as described in the README.md. Nobara added a custom command called nobara-controller-config which installs the xone drivers. I guess something must have gone wrong there that the dongle firmware was missing. https://nobaraproject.org/docs/xbox-controllers/known-issues/

    I might have just missed it.

    Running the third step of the README.md leaves me with this output:

     
        
    sudo ./install.sh 
    Driver is already installed!
    
    
      

    I assume there is no xone-get-firmware.sh file in the xone directory as a result.

    All is well that ends well :)

  • It seems it was part of the solution!

    When I tried to install it using install.sh I got the message that it was already installed.

    I had a look at dmesg and found the following entries:

     
        
    [ 1634.510594] xone-dongle 3-2:1.0: Direct firmware load for xow_dongle.bin failed with error -2
    [ 1634.510601] xone-dongle 3-2:1.0: xone_mt76_load_firmware: firmware not found
    [ 1634.510604] xone-dongle 3-2:1.0: xone_dongle_init: load firmware failed: -2
    [ 1634.511456] xone-dongle: probe of 3-2:1.0 failed with error -2
    
      

    Inside the repository I cloned I found an install/ directory with a firmware.sh file in there. I ran that as root and it installed the driver.

    I plugged in the dongle again and it worked immediately!

    ( I looked at what the script did first though ).

    Thanks for the help!

  • Lets get one thing straight.

    This is rarely ever the developer and more a business stakeholder forcing you to push the Friday deploy button.

    I've had somebody in the business escalating to my team lead, head of development and CIO because i flat out refused to deploy something on Friday at 16h.

    So no. This is not the developer making a hard choice. There should be somebody coercing or forcing him to push the deploy button.

  • Their publisher decided it. And it's probably in the contract. Apparently it was originally a requirement, but was made skippable when there were login issues.

    The only thing they proved by making ot skippable is that it wasnt even necessary at all. The reason they're giving for making it mandatory ( for security and being able to ban for griefing ) is bullshit. Not to mention They're already using a super invasive anti cheat, which apparently isn't capable of catching any cheaters.

  • To gain the most security value from ZTDNS, system admins will need to enumerate the expected domains and/or IP ranges they expect their clients to connect to,” Jake Williams wrote. “Failure to do so will result in self-inflicted denial of service.”

    Glad I'm on Linux/macos at home/work. Wtf is happening.

  • But the true adventure begins when you get back, rich with cultural experience and travel! Because that's when you realise you don't have any money left, you got evicted from your flat, you have 1000s of dollars in unpaid bills and you've got nowhere to go.

    What a time to be alive!

  • I didn't really do any CLI commands on nobara. So it's pretty straightforward. I guess the best experience might be with AMD.

    I'm running a ryzen 7 and gtx 2080ti( I think ).

    It's about 4 years old, but it still gets the job done. I've had no gfx issues. Nobara installed the nvidia drivers on its own.

    If you have a spare HD. I'd recommend giving it a try. I ran popos parallel for a short while to try out gaming.

    I was angry and leaped off the deep end. New OS and everything. I have a technical background so with google I probably could save my own ass :D

  • For hots: install lutris through the nobara app store. Start it and leave it for a few minutes while you run other updates or something ( only the very first time ).

    Go to the settings/preferences, ( three dots top right ), click runners, scroll all the way down to wine.

    Click the cog and change the runtime from wine-.... to proton-GE. Thrn you can just install the battle.net app through lutris. From the battle.net app you can install hots.

    Using the built in wine-.... Runtime I got errors like missing Microsoft arial or unable to validate certificate.

    with proton it just instantly worked.

    You can also add the battle.net installer as an external steam app and run/install it that way. The only downside would be that you can't play a steam game AND have bnet running ( which you can through lutris ).

    Exiting battle.net doesn't seem to be enough to stop lutris running it. So you might have to click the stop button in lutris if you want to restart it.

    Battle.net is a bit wonky. But once you've got it IP and running it's okay.

  • The main setup went smooth. I can recommend nobara which is what I used. I tried garuda as well, but it wasn't my style. Personal preference, no hate :).

    Most steam games work pretty good ( see protondb ). ( make sure to set your steam settings > compatibility to all games ).

    Any game with invasive anti-cheat will likely not work. LoL and valorant come to mind. I think some of the cs2 ones like faceit won't work on Linux. But standard cs2 and competitive work fine.

    Battle.net gave me some issues on lutris until I forced it to proton.

    Overall I've had a good experience. Sometimes a weird issue if I alt tab ( hots ) that it comes back super tiny. I worked around it by running it windowed fullscreen.

    Overall I've no regrets so far. I installed nobara and it's quite user friendly. I've never used a fedora distro before ( more extensive experience with xubuntu/Ubuntu/pop ).

    Helldivers 2, heroes of the storm and ff crisis core worked flawlessly.

    Hots needs to run full screen ( windowed ) or alt-tab will make the screen tiny for some reason.

    So far: no regrets.

    When you first play a game it needs to compile the shaders first. So on your initial game there's a few minutes ramp up time. But any next times you start the game should be fine.
