I have been running Bazzite on my TV for a few weeks. Was using PopOs however I was having issues with some games not launching, probably to do with the combination of Unraid VM, GPU passthrough, Xorg with fractional scaling on a 4k pannel. Bazzite with “Game mode” is amazing. Closest thing to Steam OS that I know about. Everything just worked with the exception of needing to firmware update my xbox controller to get it to work. Game mode seems to report as a steam deck.

    (Read this in capslock) How did you get the Xbox controller firmware to work?

    Seriously! I tried it for a whole afternoon, before I gave up and just bought a generic gamepad. This was the last time I bought a Microsoft hardware thing. Fuck u MS!

      Meanwhile all PS controllers (at least until 4), work OOTB on Linux, even with BT lol

        I’m on Bazzite, and AFAIK all drivers are already pre-installed.

        I already tried using a VM with passthrough, but it didn’t work. I’ll try using my brothers’ Windows PC next.

      I believe the only way to firmware up an Xbox controller is on an Xbox or through the Xbox Accessories app on Windows. I’ve been using my work laptop to update my Xbox controllers.

      As an alternative, some of the 8bitdo controllers are in LVFS, and I’ve heard the PlayStation Controller Firmware Updater works in WINE for DualShock and DualSense controllers.
