Driver issues usually only happen if the manufacturer doesn’t provide a Linux driver. Usually it is best to do some research to ensure the hardware will work before purchasing. Otherwise, the driver usually is included with the kernel so it is plug and play even for things that require manually downloading and installing on the Windows side.

Also, I’m not trying to get on any high horse. I personally think Linux is a great alternative to Windows and would love for everyone to at least try it out and see if it is right for them. It could save them tons of headaches and open the door to a new skill set, or just to breathe new life into that old laptop in your closet gathering dust. Linux has a lot of great uses that aren’t possible with Windows. Give peas a chance.

It’s a boil the frog scenario. Windows users will always cope with more and more shit thrown at them.

The tree one… Hands down

But I don’t want to die!

Yeah it was also great because it integrated with Google TV well. The recent game you played was integrated with the “ongoing watch” list. So you can quickly pick up and play just like a TV show you’ve been watching. I thought for sure that was genius and would make playing video games more mainstream for people who don’t really play video games. That was the audience Google should have pivoted towards to keep it afloat. Oh well…

The controller is actually very nice. It is a shame Google killed stadia, it was a nice service to supplement the few games I wanted to play that I couldn’t get on Nintendo, without having to go out and buy an Xbox or PlayStation. But I guess the steam deck now fills that void.

Oh crap, didn’t realize I have until the end of this year to switch it to Bluetooth mode! Thanks for the reminder.

Oh no… Anyway
