I was curious what the Linux people think about Microsoft and any bad practices that most people should know about already?

    Almost every emulator lets you remap buttons on your controller. There is nothing that stops you from mapping the buttons based on position instead of what the face button says. There are also plenty of controllers you can use on PCs that have the Nintendo layout.

      Yes, I know I can remap, but I’m just too stupid to be able to remember that the confirm/cancel buttons are swapped so I’m constantly messing that up. It’s especially a problem on the steam deck, which has Microsoft’s layout.

      Somehow, when I’m holding an xbox controller, my brain just knows that the A button has to be the south button.
