Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X controllers are very good. I’ve had some incompatibilities on my computers with older bluetooth hardware though. Speaking practically, I’d recommend the Xbox one as it’s slightly cheaper, takes regular replaceable batteries. Subjectively, I prefer the PS5 controller (I like the feel, and the trackpad is really handy), but I’ve already had to replace the lithium ion battery in mine. (Had to do the same with my older PS4 controller too)

~2017-2019 I used Ubuntu. It was fine, and I had no complaints. All the games I bothered to try including VR worked great. It was my work machine and a Windows update imploded everything. I tried Pop OS on a whim when reinstalling, and I had no complaints about that either. I barely noticed it was different to be honest. When upgrading the SSD last year I installed Fedora on a whim. It works fine and I have no complaints. I type dnf instead of apt now… that’s the biggest difference. I haven’t tried VR on it though. (I do VR for work and rarely want to use it during non-work hours nowadays)

Huh, that’s good if surprising. My problem with UE has always been that I’m curious, but have no projects I’d want to use it for. All my work stuff is Unity, and unlikely to change, and all my personal projects are too small. Good to know if I come across another UE opportunity though.

Sounds neat story summary anyway. :)

How is your experience with UE on Linux? I do a lot of Unity stuff (VR) for work, and it’s basically been in limbo for what seems like a decade now. Performance in the editor is awful, there’s still a bunch of missing functionality like the graphics debugger, and VR support comes and goes (that’s not to surprising… a niche of a niche). At the moment my work machine is back on Windows because of it. :( Extra annoying when all my data analysis tools are on Linux. -_-

I’ve been building a game on Linux too, but I’ve just been writing it in C. >_< I really dislike working with Unity…
