I recently shared my Linux HTPC/couch gaming build: https://programming.dev/post/50315130

Now, here's a repository if you want to copy my setup or parts of it.

Greetings everyone,

I know many folks have wanted to use 8Bitdo controllers on linux, and that includes the Ultimate Software.

I use the 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 controller on my Arch install. And I had been wanting to check for firmware updates, and was doing some searching and couldn't find anything that could help me.

I found out that I can run that software through Lutris with minimal configuration.

  1. Open Add game dialogue box
  2. select "Add locally installed game"
  3. Filled out Name under Game info, and selected Runner (Wine)
  4. Game options tab I selected the executable, selected Working directory, and set Wine prefix path
  5. Runner options I used GE-Proton (latest)
  6. Launched

I want to note; unsure if you would have to, but I have udev rules added:

ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2dc8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6103", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe xpad", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 2dc8 6103 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/xpad/new_id'"
ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2dc8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="310b", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe xpad", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 2dc8 310b > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/xpad/new_id'"

Hope this helps someone.

Edit:

I want to add I am also using xpadneo-dkms from the AUR.

I read somewhere on Reddit that people who use Linux should periodically, manually check for security updates to their computers' BIOS from their motherboard manufacturers, because Linux apparently ends automatic updates once you leave Windows. I have no idea of where to look on the ASUS website for my Zenbook 14, or if that's even the right place. Could anyone give any guidance on this matter? Is this a thing that we should indeed be doing semiannually or something?

And what else should I be doing on a schedule (even if annually), while I'm at it? Haha.

Edit: thanks, everyone!

It is built on the security-first pipeline behind Project Hummingbird's existing container catalog, with the foundational project itself being something Red Hat introduced as an early access program for subscribers back in November 2025.

The main idea behind the project is to ship a catalog of minimal, hardened, distroless container images kept at near-zero CVE status. When a vulnerability gets patched upstream, the build pipeline finds it, rebuilds the affected image, and ships it.

Fedora Hummingbird is applying the same logic but to a full-size operating system, using a Konflux-based build pipeline, drawing over 95% of packages from Fedora Rawhide.
