Using a gamepad on linux?

[Blocki]

How about you actually state a reason why you don't want to switch to an OS.

Also, noone cares what you tell them to post or not. Maybe you should explain your problem instead.

Because this is a thread about using a gamepad on Linux, it isn't a thread on why you should switch to closed-source windows.

Antimicro and other variants work fine.

This.

If you gave us a good solid reason you couldn't switch OS or why saying that is unhelpful, then maybe we'd understand. We were offering you the best advice we could and you said no.

(Yes, I'm aware someone already gave you software. I'm trying to tell you where we're coming from.)

As if Linux being open source helps him. Is he going to read or modify it himself, ever? Nope.

First of all, I'm a C/C++ programmer and have done so for atleast a year.

Secondly, that doesn't matter, it's about whether people who can fix issues will.

Yeah, chances are if you can't write a very basic controller -> keyboard script I don't think an open-source OS is really significant. AFAIK, reading controller input is not that difficult code-wise.

In reference to Setro, not you.

He quoted me.

Woops, didn't pay attention who I was quoting. Fixed.

Who is the person who can?

[MrPolygon]

Who is the person who can?

Perhaps people like me? Perhaps people who have knowledge of an open-source operating system such as Linux? Anybody?

the 'open source' card is usually a last resort excuse for using linux, it translates to "idk why i use this"
seems to get played quiet often too lol

Perhaps it's only a last resort for people like you; people who don't know why open-source is such a great thing, people who don't know how to use the operating system to its full potential. Of course this card is played a lot because open-source is unbelievably powerful.

Why do you want to setro to tell you why he wants to use linux and not some other os?

Thanks Mr.Polygon, it works perfectly! :D
Locking the thread because it got resolved + people are going to start a war
