takes no time at all to change. my computer is more stable, runs faster and less system strain. things actually work like hdr, and sound management. no more PS4 controller becoming my computer’s speakers because I plugged it in and the os thinking it knows best. no more weird green tint because I turned hdr on. there’s a plethora of things that just work but wouldnt in windows.
after using Linux for about a week now… I honestly can’t think of a reason why I didn’t do this years ago. microsoft is just bad
Was the PS controller as a speaker a Windows thing? Damn that drove me crazy. At least for me it was so intermittent that when it did pop up it was absolutely maddening. So happy I’ve moved on from Windows.
I’m on Linux, but for Work I’m sometimes on Windows, and our teams calls are everyone trying to fix their sound because even with saved settings on which device to use Windows decides to change that for you.
Offtop, but did you make speakers and/or headphone jack on your controller work over BT in Linux? When mine (albeit a PS4 knock-off gamepad) is wirelessly connected, it’s not shown in audio devices at all.
have not, didn’t even try tbh. I don’t want audio coming from my controller. id prefer of the thing didn’t even have a speaker or mic jack on it, but thankfully Linux is smart enough to know I’m capable of managing my own devices.
For me it was like: well, since it is here and it’s paid for, where’s this damn thing? I see a thin usecase of playing from the couch with wired headphones at night.
Seems like it’s proprietary drivers use speakers when it shouldn’t, and doesn’t use when I could’ve used them. Two shots, all missed.
