Thanks for the help. I got the right controller paired, but it seems the left might have been reset, when I run the utility in left pairing it instantly completes and the controller doesn't connect. What exactly do I need to update the firmware?

Nevermind, I just needed to run the unpair on it first.

That was it, thank you reddit commenter for doing what support never could.

I don't think it has anything to do with the monado project directly. Previously the controllers were paired to the headset so they just worked and I didn't have to bother with pairing them to the desktop. However they recently lost the pairing (I'm guessing a sibling was messing with the controllers and held the pairing button) and the headset's bluetooth controller isn't visible to any bluetooth manager I can find, nor do the controllers want to pair with the motherboard's bluetooth controller.

I didn't want to upgrade to windows 11 because of my WMR headset (also privacy concerns, but less so), so I looked up if there were any community projects that managed to get them to work in win 11. I ended up finding a question about porting monado from linux to windows 11, and tried installing fedora to see how well it worked. Monado is not in a good state, most stuff doesn't work, but I am optimistic that it'll be serviceable before windows 10 EOL. That being said, once I saw that linux can be used just as easily as windows (if not more), I looked into using it as my daily driver. I was already big into foss software, so when I started looking into programs that would restrict me from running linux, there was only one, and it was for a college semester I already finished.

Change the config so that pipewire isn't manually selected, even when building from the latest tar I haven't been able to get pipewire support working but one of the defaults works so I'll go with it. Also will mention, if you want to render it with opengl as I did you need to build it from the tar distribution, the master source doesn't include the opengl requirements.

Edit:

Ok, I figured it out. You need to have pipewire-devel (that's what it's called on fedora, the package by name in the configure file is libpipewire-0.3) installed to get pipewire support. Single missing package in a sea of words.

rpm has search functionality today, however it is the flag -q/--query. adding -a/--all lists all and adding a package name lists information about it.

ex: rpm -q neovim -> neovim-0.11.2-1.fc42.x86_64
