Had to install this app which then made me sign in (using my work PC) to update the firmware on my damn controller. Wish there was a way to do this in Linux. I’m so over Microsoft’s crap.

    At least you actually got Xbox Accessories to recognize your controller. I can’t even get it to show up even though it’s clearly connected and recognized as an xbox controller in device manager. Granted, passing the usb port through to a windows vm in order to do this probably isn’t ideal, but I can’t install it on my work computer and I’d really rather not have spyware os installed bare metal on any of my personal machines that I actually daily drive. Even when I decided fuck it I’ll throw it on an old thinkpad, it just refuses to boot the win10/11 installer.
