![]() Most distros now have easily available Nvidia drivers, but not all of them have working optimus, prime and a handy toolbar switcher from the get-go If you actually have dual graphics (due to having an Intel or AMD iGPU in the CPU besides the Nvidia dGPU you mentioned) you might miss Linux Mint's superb integration if you move away for a different distro. If you are using Steam, just make sure to have installed the steam-devices package so you have the needed udev ruls (you can extend/modify them if you need, as well), which will allow you to use the device as a regular user and set the correct options for the device node (basically are a set of config options for the device that work usually well for most users) To pair such devices usually involves to set to pairing mode (press the little pair button on the controller) open your BT device manager or set bluetoothctl to scan mode) and then pair with the discovered device. ![]() But you can get a more recent kernel than what ships with Mint/Ubuntu from PPAs (alas, since I do not use such distros, I wouldn't know how to use them, and pretty much resort to buld my own kernel, but I digress) I use Fedora and it has been on 5.16 for a while, though. It is no different with the Switch Pro (but you do need a rather recent kernel). I have also used a WiiU Pro Controller which I got back in the day and needless to say has worked just fine since like forever. I'm thinking of scrapping Mint (although I love it) to maybe Fedora so I can stay a bit more up-to date with latest and greatest. So, are you using a Switch Pro Controller and how do you get it to work? Are you using 5.16 or better? I now find that Kernel 5.16 supports Nintendo Pro Controller, however, I am currently using Linix Mint (Cinnamon), which is not up with 5.16 yet, and might not be till next year. ![]() I recently found some articles that could help with the USB/MIDI and Razer support (some coding/scripting required, but thats ok), so planning on having another go. However, I have tried a number of times and each time I have hit blockers like: Graphic drivers, Razer Mouse/Keyboard lack of support and macros, MIDI/USB support (I have some legacy music keyboards that just wont work as they do in windows), Anti Cheat stopping my fav games from working. ![]() Tldr Are you using a Pro Controller? if so, which distro and kernel version are you using?įor a few years now I have wanted to make the move from dirty MS Windows to nice happy Linux. ![]()
