I'm planning on switching to Linux on my main PC as I don't want to move to Windows 11 and was curious about other people's experiences doing so.

I have a Steam Deck and everything there works out of the box, but I imagine that's a more curated platform compared to standard distros.

What are your experiences, good or bad?

Through the Xbox Accessories app you can enable co-pilot mode between two Xbox controllers. So both are seen as one device. So I can use Left trigger and right trigger with my feet on the XBAC while keeping my controller in my lap and disabling the triggers on it so they are accidentally pressed.

Hmmm okay I understand. There might well be a dedicated program for this, but I'm also sure it's technically possible, just maybe far from trivial.

A bit of searching turned up this, I haven't tried it myself but it claims to offer the functionality you want: https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxjoymap/

Ooh this looks like it has some potential. I'll give it a shot. Thanks so much!
