A phone app?! Why didn't I think to look for that. I'll give that a look as well. Man I'm glad this community is full of troubleshooters.

Good to know. My PC is a dual boot with Windows 11, so no problems there. Thank you for the advice, I'll be sure to update after I give it a shot.

This is certainly an angle worth checking out. Is it easy enough to roll back the firmware?

Already did that to no avail. It seems like no matter what I do, this is what I'm doomed to. I'll have to check out the BIOS/firmware for the controllers like the other person suggested.

I also wanted to lose a bit of weight and get stronger, but to me, going to the gym sucks. I never stick with that, but I really enjoy physical activities with a purpose. So I joined a rock climbing gym. It's all the physical working out that I want with all the fun that I need to stick with it. Now if I could just eat better...

Uh, excuse me, but the steam controller was actually the first Valve hardware to do this.

How DARE you ask about GUI controls! But seriously I'd love to see more of it. It certainly would make on-boarding of windows users much easier. All the CLI functions scare most away. It seems like every time I ask about a GUI for something I get shot down hard. Like I understand why CLI is more prevalent, way easier to troubleshoot and instruct people across multiple distros. But if you want to grow the Linux community, ease of use to the broad public has to become priority, and I think GUIs is the best starting point for that.

And having things built in would be a major help as well, instead of having to see if the software center has it, and then searching GitHub when it doesn't. Again, I get that some distros might have that, but that would be a niche distro for certain things. A nice GUI tool to adjust GPU parameters would be super (using coolero at the moment), a better audio device manager, gamepad device manager as well, task manager that's a little more user friendly.

I'm rambling and I don't want to sound like I dislike Linux. I made Mint my only OS on my laptop and two PCs in my house. I love it. I keep W11 on my gaming PC as a dual boot strictly for VR. That's all that's holding me back. I'm fine with CLI tools but I'd reeeeeeally like it if GUI tools became more prevalent.

VR is very much not stalled. Is it a niche thing? Oh for sure, but it's still very much being developed. Between all the new hardware and software that's coming out, it'll be a few more years of super niche stuff and then it'll start becoming more mainstream.

As others users have said though, VR on Linux is non trivial to set up and sometimes ill advised. I run dual boot with Mint and W11 strictly for VR support.

on the way might realize it's just easier to console. Kinda where I'm at.

Me too. Discovering lots of good tools are CLI, so just getting familiar with that instead.

Yeah, that guy is really awesome with a lot of things. I actually followed his video (roughly) on building a shed.

Well put. I do need to learn much of the basic workings of CLI. Any recommendations on how to approach learning?

I mean you could just mud over it and paint, but that's a bandaid, not a fix.

To properly fix, you want to screw above and below the pop, make sure you don't bury the screws. Use one of those drywall bits that have the collar on them. Then mud over all of them and paint.
