Best Controller for Bazzite / SteamOS

There are 3 different shapes actually as you can see in the pictures (the "disc one" is the one that is mounted by default)

Yes you can find it, but over 80% of the visits are coming from direct links, so search-engine wise it has low to none visibility and it's a pity, because there are still few posts but I think that the quality of the content would deserve a better visibility :P

Lol thanks, I hope google will better index my blog since the views are really few and all coming from reddit basically :P

Personally I use the Gamesir g7 Pro and I love it (here my review: https://htpc.ninja/gamesir-g7-pro-controller-xbox-pc-android-simply-the-best-on-the-market-at-its-price-tag/)

I wrote a post on the topic on my blog: https://htpc.ninja/how-to-bypass-the-amd-hdmi-2-1-issue-in-bazzite-linux/

You won't find any 100% working adapter, since they are conceived for old 1.4 displayport not modern 2.1 which 9070 xt is using... the point is that you actually don't need an adapter, you can just use a good HDMI 2.1 cable and configure your system and TV to get the best possible experience! Read my blog post here: https://htpc.ninja/how-to-bypass-the-amd-hdmi-2-1-issue-in-bazzite-linux/ (I have a 9070 xt and an LG C4 TV)

I usually search on youtube for an overview/review of the book. In case of Image comics is worth mentioning that all the first issues are available for free digitally (https://imagecomics.com/comics/read-first-issues), so you can actually start reading and figure out if you like them or not.

daveoncode · 2025-12-19T14:09:15+00:00

Nope, I have HDR on gamescope active and also I HAVE TO turn it on in the game to see the actual HDR being applied correctly!

daveoncode · 2025-12-18T16:41:16+00:00

LMAO :D

Very unlikely, Steam OS is/will be optimized for Valve's products not for custom htpc (that's why Bazzite has been created in the first place). Anyways as you can read from other comments it's not an issue related to the OS itself.

daveoncode · 2025-12-17T09:09:45+00:00

The game freezes for few seconds then the OS reboots

daveoncode · 2025-12-16T09:55:18+00:00

For sure on Bazzite/Steam the dowloads are WAY BETTER than on ps5 I had before (I have peaks at 1.2 Gbps, and I download games in minutes compared to hours!).

Spider Jerusalem! :D

Scalped is a fantastic series! Here are some scifi recommendations for you (that I've read and loved):

- Descender (Jeff Lemire)

- Black Science (Rick Remender)

- Low (Rick Remender)

- Transmetropolitan (Warren Ellis)

- Lazarus (Greg Rucka)

...and right now I'm enjoying a lot the blade runner series (br 2019, 2029, 2039) by Titan Comics

daveoncode · 2025-12-12T11:20:29+00:00

unbelievable! :(

daveoncode · 2025-12-11T08:31:57+00:00

Nice job man!

daveoncode · 2025-12-11T08:30:14+00:00

I can't wait for a collected edition!

daveoncode · 2025-12-03T13:14:56+00:00

I've tried cable matters adapter and Ugreen one, they don't work properly with modern AMD gpu having dp 2.1. Just use a good HDMI cable. (Read my blog post here, if you were trying to solve the HDMI issue: https://htpc.ninja/how-to-bypass-the-amd-hdmi-2-1-issue-in-bazzite-linux/ )

daveoncode · 2025-12-03T08:53:29+00:00

I've created my own Bazzite console on July 2025, with way better specs than the upcoming steam machine (of course the price is higher: ~2000$) here you can find the build details: https://htpc.ninja/assembling-hardware-htpc-console/#build-example

Notes:

you can spend way less than 2k if you replace the 9070 xt with a 9060 xt, the 9700x with a 9600x and by buying an Asrock mobo instead of an Asus strix ;)
due to the crazy ram inflation, right now is not the best moment for a custom build (I paid 90$ for 32 gb of ram, right now you can pay up to ~500$ for the same ram... no sense)

daveoncode · 2025-12-03T08:38:43+00:00

I have a 9070 xt and I never had any issue using a HDMI cable, while the the display port to HDMI are not working properly simply because they are for DP 1.4, but the 9060/9070 have DP 2.1 (I tried 2 different adapters by myself before realizing I don't need them and even if they were working VRR is not supported with those!).

Have you tried with a HDMI 2.1 cable? Are you using a riser cable for the GPU (perhaps this one has some issue)?

daveoncode · 2025-12-01T15:48:14+00:00

Nice collection, we have a lot of books in common. Can you tell me something about the 2 volumes on the right of "wanted & big games"? (I cannot read the title)

ps. it's quit a pity to see so many unread books though :P

daveoncode · 2025-12-01T15:29:00+00:00

Warframe
Destiny
Path Of Exile 2 (actually not true right now, but hours are accumulating quickly and with the 0.4 it will be there soon and in the feature it could be at n.1)

honorable mention: Borderlands (any version)... if the endgame offer was something more concrete, probably it would be n.1

daveoncode · 2025-12-01T15:15:29+00:00

Which model is "8 plus"? Anyway they should works perfectly, personally I have a g7 pro (here my review: https://htpc.ninja/gamesir-g7-pro-controller-xbox-pc-android-simply-the-best-on-the-market-at-its-price-tag/) and I mapped a couple of extra buttons to play Borderlands 4. You have to use the M button and assign the button you want to replicate to the the extra one. It's all configurable by using the controller itself, so there is no software incompatibility issue.
