My experience may be dated, but I’ve always had issues with controllers on Windows and Linux. Less so with Linux these days because my controllers are dated and the drivers are in the mainline kernel.
The biggest issue was solved with steam and it’s controller interface / community layouts.
Gaming, news, tech, general literature. All of these are somewhat thriving, with a steady influx of posts and comments. At the same time, the userbase is sorely lacking for more niche communities.

I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver....
I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it’s a bad game. Don’t do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you’ll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent’s cool thing....
Hertz put a first-time EV driver in a Tesla that was half dead, then tried to hold her financially accountable for getting stranded on the side of the road....

Lol everyone should go read the couple of posts on the community / magazine with the same name. Hilarious seeing people so triggered by people pointing out that the name is a bit problematic.
My son's 5th birthday is coming up and I would like to gift him a board game. Usually only the two of us play and he likes for example Carcassonne Junior, Brandon the Nrave or Karuba Junior. Any good suggestions for a new game, maybe also something collaborative?
Is this the same Chicago that sold all their parking meters to Wall Street making infrastructure changes really difficult because it would cut into parking meter profits?
I played both one and two when I was pretty young. My parents found gba games to be a lot cheaper on eBay. Turns out they were bootleg copies. Because of this the character transfer didn’t work from one to two. I was pretty bummed about it. Still a fun series! Ragnarok!

While larger, more general communities are thriving on the Fediverse - I'm missing out on the niche communities

Chicago is spending over $17 million to add miles of new bike lanes — all in hopes of curbing segregation and boosting racial equity (www.yahoo.com)
There obviously more work to be done and I love that Chicago is so far ahead of so many cities when it comes to bicycle infrastructure.
