    What do you mean lacking support for keyboards and controllers? Maybe for doing weird custom stuff like RGB, but for anything else they’re standard HIDs and will work with anything, no “support” needed. You can plug a USB keyboard and mouse into your phone and it’ll work if you want.

    I’m currently playing Clair Obscur on linux through steam with a cheap fake xbox controller I got off ebay, and it works perfectly. I’m using an Nvidia card too, and I haven’t had to do any customisation or anything.

    Easy anti-cheat won’t work, so Valorant/Fortnite, etc. are out of the question for now, but any games that don’t use that kind of malware are probably fine.

      I’m talking more about software and program level support. Not whether hardware itself is working on Linux, which Linux has been good at.

      Like software to be able to update firmware on controllers, which doesn’t work on Linux. Controller itself will work. 8bitdo to update firmware and set extra profiles they only support windows.

      So more about what their level of native Linux support is so consumers get the same level of extra features as Windows users.
