use it with winblows first and switch to linux when the warranty expires in a year or just install linux right away? i guess i have to install winblows and get a few bios updates before i install linux

is this a good bubblewrap script to isolate web development tools? I don't want to get fucked up by running random npm commands. Already tried containers the upkeep was quite a lot of work.

Does anyone know why when I plug in my generic wired gamepad from walmart it just vibrates non-stop?

For some reason it's being recognized as nintendo
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 057e:2009 Nintendo Co., Ltd Switch Pro Controller


I googled and tried modprobe -r hid-nintendo, that did nothing.
It's xbox style, but xboxdrv doesn't recognize it.

It just sits there rumbling non-stop as soon as it's plugged in.
I'm on void with x11 xfce
>>
>>107744671
What is the brand name? Some peripherals have firmware issues and this applies to mice even.
If it is fully USB compliant it should not vibrate because usb is a standard, so it's more likely a kernel module issue afaik.

>>107744671
Also: you can probably reset the firmware of the controller by pressing 'home' button when plugging it in or something but this can vary.
8bit do controllers have this feature for example.
>>
>>107744708
It's Onn, the generic walmart brand.
Hmm.. holding the home button while plugging it in put it into some kind of state. The power light just stayed blinking and it wasn't vibrating, but it's not being picked up at all is lsusb.
>>
>>107744959
>>107744671
Okay, me again. I went ahead and created /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-hid-nintendo with "blacklist hid_nintendo"
rebooted, manually loaded xpad
plugged controller in, it attempted to handshake with nintendo, failed, and connected as hid-generic, then immediately fell back to xbox 360.
So, it's working now. The solution was blacklisting hid_nintendo since that seems to be how it's trying to connect.
