Boy, the good ole days are gone when it comes to Windows. I am posting just to help anybody that doesn’t know. This is like a creepy wire tap. If you are actually using Windows 11, make sure to disable and or reduce telemetry in Windows 11 (Privacy). If that actually helps, I am sure there are more ways they send data back but the video link is a simple how to for the telemetry. Here is more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtg_s1GQiMU
Once a software I use has a native Linux version and not a hacky buggy work around I’ll move my main production machine. Got a box with proxmox on it with two vms of Linux. No issues with Linux other than not being able to use my wireless Xbox controller dongle… And Xbox controllers. Though I’m certain it’s a configuration issue.
xbox controllers didn’t even work for me half the time on windows. switch controllers are hit or miss, but for some reason ps5 and ps4 controllers have worked flawlessly for me, just plug n play on linux. windows my ps5 controller was fine except the bluetooth would glitch after about an hour
I’ve had a smooth experience with Xbox controllers on windows. I’ll just pick up an 8bitdo controller for the Linux.
My switch pro controller works great with steam on cachyos. Just connected it over Bluetooth. I was surprised tbh
