  • Like others said, driver support for console controllers is pretty good through the board.

    My suggestion: try them out, maybe in a local store on their demo stations (pretty regular around here at least) or by ordering and returning the one you don’t like.

    I personally like the controller layout of the XBox controller more than the PlayStation one. But it comes down to preference. So definitely test drive to find the best suit for you.






  • Nala is a great apt frontend. It supports parallel downloads of packages and speeds up the whole process up a lot.

    Not sure which commands irk you as too long. Nala makes a good overview of changes like which package is bumped to what version and where it stands now. So I basically only use

    nala upgrade
    

    and take it from there. Updates the sources, lists the diff for upgradable packages and ask me to go forward or abort.

    Clearly we have been to different parts of the internet, cause that is definitely not what I observed in the past years.

    It’s dumb either way. Google and Apple are publicly traded companies and therefore never have the end user as top priority. Satisfying them is just means to please shareholders, their top priority. And if it is not that, then it is pleasing some governing body (e.g. China, India) to expand market access and grow. For the shareholders again.






  • No, so far no bugs worth mentioning. All works well, apart from more incoming updates than usually on a Debian System.

    The problems I ran into were mostly with GNOME and Hotkeys for Apps in Wayland. Like Shift + F12 to open a Terminal does not work reliably when set in the Terminal app, but works well when set in the Gnome Settings as a global Shortcut. But I would file that under annoyance rather then a serious bug.


  • To add to this: Debian is pretty conservative in regards to package versions. The current and LTS versions usually have slightly older packages.

    If you don’t mind tackling more updates, I suggest Debian Testing. That is the stable development branch for the next major release, currently rocking it with Wayland GNOME on my DELL notebook and very happy with the results.
