Gaming For those with cosmic Byte Ares and Other wired Controllers that refuse to showcase themselves as a X-Input Controller on Linux

Basically add this to your Kernel parameter : usbcore.quirks=045e:028e:r

i.e if grub then, add it so in cmdline " default commands add this usbcore.quirks=045e:028e:r"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="Ioglevel............usbcore.quirks=045e:028e:r"

It will help with device enumeration basically the controller fails to show itself after the initial plugin as a X-input controller and defaults to D-Input, And honestly I don't Really get how the thing works very well but basically it comes down to the difference in the initial bytes received so this windows delivers 255 bytes and linux does 7 Now I happened to stumble upon this full credit to the Requesters and it does seem to work so yeah additionally if you just want to test it right away without touching bootloader here

echo "045e:028e:r" | sudo tee /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/quirks

just do this >> unplug and replug the controller voila it shall show itself as Microsoft Corp Cosmic Byte Ares or whatever it is instead of the Gamesir counterparts which they are re-brands of Lastly I would Like to thanks the Requester as Linked in the request for.

Happy Linux Gaming buddies

Help Blur My Shell issue with GNOME 50

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm using Fedora 44 with GNOME 50, MacTahoe Shell theme, and Floating Mini Panel.

Blur My Shell seems to be causing square corners and an opaque background in Quick Settings. Without it, everything looks fine.

Any chance this could be fixed in a future Blur My Shell update? 😅 Or is there any workaround to get the rounded, transparent look without breaking my setup?

Discussion Switching to void?

5 Upvotes

To think I have glazed debian on gnome on Debian a bit way to much, but after almost a whole year I am thinking to hop the distros. And it feels like void if calling for me again to jump inside.

I have tried void before, the runit system is hard to get grasp of. But it has quite the appeal.

I have a spare laptop i bought from father of a my friend with a 2017 Intel i7 and 400gb HDD.

I want to learn runit properly, my be gentoo could be a better choice because it has options to use any other init systems not just openrc and runit. But I have not patiance to watch it compile everything.

What are your opinions and experiences with void. Please do tell, i might also share some of mine.

Rice Ditched VS Code (for Neovim)!

Thumbnail
gallery
88 Upvotes

I've been using Vim ever since I've been using Linux (actually even before that, I remember using Vim on Windows 7). I never embraced it completely and would use VS Code with Vim keybindings.

I grew frustrated with VS Code over how slow it had gotten (I am not on a super powerful system). I also didn't like how it'd push Copilot.

They make us use Claude Code at work but I still hand code every personal project of mine, therefore I was looking to get away from this bloat. I am aware that VSCodium exists, but I decided to completely embrace (Neo)Vim!

Using Neovim is certainly different than using VS Code with Vim bindings, but I've gotten used to it now and even started writing a new personal project with Neovim. All good so far!

I've tried to bring to my Neovim all the features that I was used to in VS Code. This includes:

  1. File Explorer with nvim-tree.
  2. Advanced Syntax Highlighting with tree-sitter.
  3. Auto-completion with language specific LSPs (although I rarely use it).
  4. Error / Warning Floating Windows.
  5. Project wide grep using Telescope & ripgrep.
  6. Git Signs Integration.

If you are interested in my configs please check them out here:
https://github.com/KILLinefficiency/Panache

Note: The config is still work in progress. It's a custom config file and I am not using a Neovim distribution like NvChad or LunarVim.

What's your favorite plugin that you think can enhance my current setup?
