i followed a “install any linux distro in 5 minutes” guide and after just 14 hours i finally have an OS that is running properly
as a long time hater i must say its very nice and i like it a lot, especially considering microsoft is hellbent on making windows the worst OS as quickly as possible. i will say, im a big nerd and this stuff comes to me pretty easily but i still think hoping normies will adopt this is kinda insane
anywho, its the year of linux or so i keep hearing
also if anyone knows why my keyboard keeps disconnecting every 30 minutes or so, i would very much like to know why. its an anne pro 2 that i am using with a wired connection
I suspect it’s udev issue. Udev is the system responsible for (among other things) identifying hardware and assigning the proper driver to it. It is sometimes necessary to add explicit udev rules for some obscure hardware to force the system to prefer one driver over another, or to recognize some wierd ass USB device would be perfectly happy being treated simply as e.g. a serial device. One somewhat common situation is explicitly telling udev to tread obscure knockoff gamepads as if they were an xbox controller.
I don’t think so, it wouldn’t even work if it wasn’t recognized as keyboard. It probably is recognized as both a keyboard and a gamepad at the same time. Physical USB devices can (and frequently do) present as multiple devices to the host. For example, a keyboard with a scroll wheel will look like be both a keyboard and a mouse.
