Debunk from dev Pierre-Loup Griffais ‪@plagman.bsky.social‬

"we've done pre-release Mesa Vulkan work on every AMD architecture since Vega thanks to them kindly providing hardware, so there's nothing meaningful to read into there."

That's a bummer, because I was considering the same thing and was wondering what Xbox controller support would be on Linux.

I already had a ps4 controller (worked ok on Linux mint and perfectly with Bazzite), but wanted a second one to play with my wife, and I have seen people using Xbox controllers on Linux so I supposed it was "plug and play", but not! You first need to connect it to an Xbox or a Windows PC to update the controller firmware (I don't have any of those, had to ask my neighbor to update the controller on his PC). After this, the controller was supposed to work but it didn't. This is were I learned that xbox controllers don't use the standard Bluetooth protocol but a proprietary one.

Is there a source for this? I play a few time vampire games on my iPad and use my xbox controller BT paired with it just fine. Haven’t had a single issue in a year or so.

I had no problem with the controller on my android phone neither (test it like that to check if wasn't the controller broke), but couldn't make it work on any distro (tried an Arch distribution don't remember the name, linux mint, fedora and bazzite (fedora based)).
