Is this just me? Everything works perfectly, but if the controller turns off and on again while a game is running, it's no longer recognized, and this forces me to restart the game.

I don't know how useful it is but I tried to join the input group, nothing changed.

The beautiful games I own are Snake Pass and Sonic Racing Transformed, both of which have sound issues (muffled audio) when played through a cheap soundbar via bluetooth, audio for all other games with this soundbar works perfectly.

I'm on EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) using repository Steam, KDE Plasma and Pipewire. I've tried all the different proton versions (experimental, 9, 8, 7, 3, etc) without success. Maybe I could solve it by removing pipewire but I don't think it's worth worsening the entire OS, since it's only about these two titles.

Q:

• The problem seems to not appear on other distros, like Debian (maybe due to different packages / pulseaudio?).
• Coincidentally it only happens with these two SumoDigital games, could proton be missing some component commonly used in these games?
• Since I can't find any relevant solutions online, I assume that the problem only exists with this type of Bluetooth audio device.

[edit] AtM I "solved" it by connecting the speaker via cable.

I'm sorting out my collection of native games and ROMs, Pegasus requires some forethought to customize the collections as I want but it seems like the best option. Do you know of interesting and equally customizable alternatives like Pegasus that are not proprietary and are comfy with the gamepad?

I love Breeze icons but every now and then I would like to change, needless to say that most of the sets have their default colors and do not respect the Plasma user's choice of accent.

It’s just me or RetroArch developed the best FLOSS alternative to proprietary UI? You have a nice overlay, CRT shaders, bezels, some netplay function, customizable interface. All of this completely free and super fast.

Wouldn’t be nice to also launch non-emulated games from here?

The cursor randomly enlarges every now and then. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, have you solved it?

Could this be due to using different containers? I use flatpaks for everything apart from a few exceptions where I use distrobox, and in these the Plasma cursor is slightly different, but it doesn't justify the bug but just a different version of the cursor.

Maybe using Syncthing or MPD? I'm searching something to keep/share my votes or even maybe listen counts for desktop and mobile. Also it would be nice to create a backup for these data.

I love the ViMusic/RiMusic UI, it's something different that works also better than standard material designs.

While other flatpak apps have no problems. Any suggestions?

Where do you download? Excluding particular cases, what are the common steps you take to make most games playable? Where do you keep and launch your collection?

I know there are in-depth guides but I wanted a more genuine commentary on your experience.
