Me and my 2 other friends were planning to play fifa on my computer last night. I have 3 gamepads. One is xbox one controller. I use cachy os and I couldn’t connect my xbox gamepad. I connected it actually but the laptop was not able to understand that was a gamepad. It didn’t worked. I tried for 1 hour and my friends just laught ar me because of i use linux. And the worst part, if it was windows we would have no problem. Anyway, do you have any suggestions cause i thought cachy might not be the best option for gaming. I dont want dual boot my laptop, i hate windows


Games and gaming hardware are not designed to run on linux. A distinct difference from linux doesn’t run games or games don’t work on linux. In the ideal world developers would make games operating system agnostic. Sadly they do not.
That said, anticipate that you might have problem, and plan your gaming sessions accordingly. Test your games ahead of time. Consult protondb when things don’t go your way. Steer your friends toward games you know work.
