It’s a privilege to not have to worry about making a living.

That comes from a position of privilege though. Getting to choose which companies sponsor you is only viable if your channel is large or you have multiple options to pick from.

If you haven’t already, try using a wired connection. That should remove the primary difference between xbox one and series controllers. I’d also suggest using a tool like antimicrox to see if you’re receiving input from the controller. You may also want to look into what solutions other distros use for Bluetooth, as the answer could be buried in there.

I generally find this to be the easiest option if my system is giving me issues. Void took me a few installs before getting the right combination of packages and services running. It’s definitely my favorite distro so far, considering that it provides stability while remaining on a rolling release cycle.

As to your controller, look into the xpadneo or xone packages. Both are available on Void. Not certain they’ll work with PlayStation controllers, but I wasn’t able to find any packages dedicated to them.

Interesting, could also be the tty. If it’s causing you a lot of trouble, you might want to just reinstall.

What shell are you running in your terminal? If I’m remembering correctly, it’s recommended to set the shells during the installation, so that could be the issue here.

Removing bloat doesn’t necessarily make things unstable. I remove all the games from my KDE Plasma installs. The primary mistake that can occur in removing non-essential programs is ignoring the list of programs that this is a dependency of or also removes.

Honestly, carrying around a usb drive is generally a pretty good idea. I carry one with several ISOs so I can rescue a machine if something happens and I am unable to fix it (and also show people what modern Linux has to offer).

This is something I carry pretty much anywhere I take my computer, and would recommend to most people. Sure, I could leave it at home, but if I have to meet a deadline, I don’t want to spend the extra hour driving to my house. It’s a worst case scenario kind of thing, but it pays off considering how little effort takes.

Was going to say this. Pycharm is probably the only paid software I use. With that being said, students don’t need to pay for it, so I don’t have to worry about that.
