AI fixes Linux on the desktop. Whatever obscure issues you’re facing, you’re a quick prompt away from the solution.

Was not the case when I wanted to use a GameCube controller via Wii U adaptor without a lot of extra lag. Yeah that's a niche, but it works fine in Windows and even Mac.

I believe most of those work with controller drivers in the application (Dolphin Emulator or Steam/SDL) rather than the OS level. That's why the Windows solution requires Zadig to replace the HID driver.

On Linux instead of replacing the driver, you have to add an udev rule that allows applications to communicate with the USB device directly: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-devices/blob/master/6... And you can see in this list, it's not the only controller with that requirement.

SteamOS includes this by default.

		If I remember correctly, it doesn't work at all unless you add that rule, which I did. But then the problem is input lag, hence https://github.com/hannesmann/gcadapter-oc-kmod which the author only tested in Arch, and for whatever reason it didn't work on Ubuntu. Was printing that "Failed to acquire lock for USB device" line and then I think "Could not reset device", don't remember. Anyway seems like a hack. This was for Slippi Melee. It's not like I play this competitively at all, the lag is just very noticeable.

Whilst I tend to agree, I also don't recommend just pasting every command from ChatGPT into your machine without having some understanding/validating process.

		Best flow is Llm -> manual research -> apply But no one has the time to validate everything llm writes via manually researching it unfortunately /s

Assuming you actually take the time to retroactively understand what you just did and don't become a slop-ministrator.
