I understand your frustration, and I'll try to provide a solution that's as straightforward as possible. While Linux offers a lot of customization and power, it can sometimes require more technical effort for specific tasks like controller setup.

Checking Compatibility: First, let's ensure your Xbox controller is compatible with Linux Mint. Most Xbox controllers should work well, but it's good to verify.
Configuration: Linux Mint typically uses the XInput system for game controllers. Sometimes, extra configuration is needed to get controllers working smoothly.
Reboot: It's a simple step, but sometimes restarting your computer can help resolve hardware recognition issues.
Updates: Make sure your system and packages are up to date. Open a terminal and run:
```
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
```
Install "xboxdrv": If the built-in driver isn't working as expected, you can try installing the "xboxdrv" package, which can provide better controller compatibility. Run:
```
sudo apt install xboxdrv
```
Calibration: After installing xboxdrv, you can calibrate your controller by running:
```
sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver --silent
```
This command should help with controller recognition.
CMake and Driver Compilation (if needed): If the previous steps don't resolve the issue and you're instructed to compile a controller driver using CMake, follow these additional steps:
- Cloning the Repository: Use the git command to clone the controller driver repository from Git. Replace `` with the actual URL of the repository:
```
git clone https://www.yourwebsite.com
```
- Compiling the Software: Navigate to the cloned repository folder using the terminal. Create a build directory:
```
mkdir build
cd build
```
  Generate the build files with CMake:
```
cmake ..
```
  Build the software:
```
make
```
- Installation: After successfully building the software, you may need to install it. This can usually be done with the following command:
```
sudo make install
```
Browser Game Stream: If you're using a web browser for Xbox game streaming, ensure you're using a browser that fully supports it. Google Chrome is a good choice for this.
Test: Finally, test your controller in a web-based game streaming service like Xbox Cloud Gaming to see if it works as expected.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, please provide more details about your system, controller model, and any error messages you encounter during the process. I'll do my best to assist you further.

Signal tests usernames that keep your phone number private in c/[email protected]

I don't use Telegram but they don't enable encryption by default? Last time I used Telegram I needed a phone number still, so, I'd say Signal has always been on top.

Rioting is not what we need, what we need to learn is to get along with each other, more violence will only divide us further. What is this Nazi takeover you're refferring to? Should we just destroy everything whenever someting bad happens?

You sound crazy.

Healthcare is key, and I'm all for that. Background checks are hit or miss, but better than nothing. The real challenge lies in enhancing these checks to be more effective while respecting lawful ownership rights. I do agree with your points, may we hope for better days friend.

Ok so what's your solution? Banning all guns isn't going to work, I know rednecks who'd rather die if you try to take their firearms. My solution for teachers isn't perfect either, instead, maybe have security guards who conceal carry on the premise. It would be better than having everyone be sitting ducks.

As we've seen with Uvalde, police can be just as useless. These are just examples I came up with off the top of my head, in my eyes banning all guns isn't possible, especially when you can literally 3D print guns at home without anyone knowing.
