Once a software I use has a native Linux version and not a hacky buggy work around I'll move my main production machine. Got a box with proxmox on it with two vms of Linux. No issues with Linux other than not being able to use my wireless Xbox controller dongle... And Xbox controllers. Though I'm certain it's a configuration issue.

xbox controllers didn't even work for me half the time on windows. switch controllers are hit or miss, but for some reason ps5 and ps4 controllers have worked flawlessly for me, just plug n play on linux. windows my ps5 controller was fine except the bluetooth would glitch after about an hour
My switch pro controller works great with steam on cachyos. Just connected it over Bluetooth. I was surprised tbh
I've had a smooth experience with Xbox controllers on windows. I'll just pick up an 8bitdo controller for the Linux.
What do you mean the good old days of Windows? When does it been doing this for decades bro.
